My interest in distance running started when I was in junior high, it was how me and my stepmom, Jane, bonded. The Lilac Bloomsday 12k run in Spokane, Washington became a family event, and I (briefly) took up track and field. I wasn't very fast, but damn some days I felt like I could run... Continue Reading →
Redefining “Work”
Lately I've been struggling define my Passion Project as "work" because it doesn't FEEL like work. It's something I actually ENJOY doing. Soooo instead of inventing another word, why don't we just redefine "work"? #passion #pursuit
