  • We run because…

    “We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves…The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, ‘You must not run faster than this, or jump…

  • Running through the clouds and the rain

    I run more than I write.  A balance between the two is better.  After each run, I update my Facebook, twitter (lexa82), and sometimes Instagram.  Rarely does my WOD (workout of the day) appear on Lexa’s Journal.

    New road companion

    Are you a biker, a runner, or a walker?  Even if you don’t fit the previous description, but have young kids, you my get  just as excited as I am about my new find.   If not, you may already know about these cool little identification tags and bracelets. Before I head out for a run, I always…
