Zero to 50

I've been MIA on this writing thing for the last two years, but the good new is...it's NOT due to an injury.  Well, at least most of the time.  I've been very busy running, and was just inspired to start writing about it again.

But, before I jump ahead to now, I must detail where I've been the last two years:

October 2010: Victoria Marathon
