Greetings, Tribe! Don’t worry, we definitely did more in France than follow around the Tour de France. Paris When we came up to the street from the Metro underground, I immediately felt at home. A sense of peace washed over me. Our hotel was about as French as they come. They even left us this … Continue reading France, Part Deux
Greetings, Tribe! We checked something off of our bucket list: Le Tour de France! We arrived in Paris, France on Thursday, July 25.

Greetings, Tribe! As many of you know, I LIVE for our runcations. To pretend for a few weeks that we’re professional runners, sleeping more, eating more, and running at altitude. I wait all year for this trip, and this year was no different. This year, however, I was sick the entire trip. On the flight … Continue reading Runcation 2018

I met Debbie (future mother-in-law) and Allison (future sister-in-law) for … Continue reading 20 miles: Attempt Number 2
