Star Wars Half Marathon Expo & 10K 2018
I love Star Wars. I would do movie marathons as a kid and watch all three of the originals back to back during summer days. I wanted to be Luke Skywalker. I don't know if I had unrealistic expectations for this series, with all of its potential, but after doing it for...

Dopey Recap 2018 Expo/5k/10K
I wasn't supposed to be here. It's well known that I will step up to just about any challenge, accomplish it and then I'm off to the next thing. So why am I dumb enough to do the Dopey Challenge twice? It really came down to three things. It was the 5th anniversary...
Star Wars Darkside Half Marathon 2017 Recap
