There Goes Nordic Moxie. Speed is all relative. Effort is all heart. Last week I published a post regarding my summer training plans for the Winthrop Road Marathon (' all good things are wild and free. And how plans didn't go as.well. planned.

And so Thoreau was right: "All good things are. Wild and free.". PR in the marathon at Winthrop.

There Goes Nordic Moxie. Speed is all relative. Effort is all heart. To those who know me, this is old news. Back in June 2010, I went and saw Charlie. I had wanted something to signify what the marathon meant to me. What running meant to me. So much it signifies, but I kept coming back to "freedom". It's my first "reason" when asked why I love running. It gives me such freedom. Notice the decimal point is a little heart. If you have experienced one you can tolerate the other! March 13, 2011. You can't t...

Not too hot, not too cold, not too muggy. Just right. (race reports are story telling, no?
