Philadelphia Hot Chocolate 15K Race Recap 2016
For the second year in a row, I ran the Philadelphia Hot Chocolate 15K in early April.

My Running Gear Kit for 2016
Going into the running season of 2016, ok we are still a way off, but still, I wanted to share my favorite running gear. It’s only been about two years of real running for me, so I haven’t found the best items everywhere, but for the most part, I’ve at least found things that work well enough for me to finish three marathons and ten halves.

New York City New Year’s Eve Midnight Run Race Recap
