I registered for the half marathon back in October, well before I knew there would a house (finally) selling, another one purchased, and a stressful timeline of all things moving/relocating. In other words, my typical pre-spring training took an unexpected backseat and the probability of running 13.1 miles became unlikely.

A Race I Run Every Year

Eclipsed by the Wind
Can you say WIND???
It's always windy in Iowa this time of year, but this past week was unbelievably gusty. As much as I love the great outdoors, even I struggled with getting my buttocks outside on the daily. Don't worry, the #OptOutside streak is still going strong...but there were a few bare minimums with my efforts due to this week's circumstances.

Fight for Air Climb - 2024 recap
When they named this event the Fight for Air Climb, they weren’t kidding!
Hot stairwells. Heavy breathing. Trashed leg muscles. But a finish line like none other.
There’s much to love and respect about fighting for that air, all for the sake of those who need it most. Many struggle with lung health, and it’s for them that I (and numerous others) return to the stairwells every year.

Time for a Chatty Gathering
So, shall we chat?

Shall we get this chatty gathering started?
