It worked out that we could spend Veteran's Day with our Team RWB runner and her coach.  We learned what the day means to them and got to learn more about Team RWB as an organization.

Ian and Janet have been hard at it figuring out the best way to make sure a nagging knee wouldn't keep Janet from training for the 50 miler in April.  We share three thoughts on how to best approach the situation of potential early injury in a training period.  Ian's expertise and Janet's journey is just starting and we are learning from both of them along the way.
