  Running With Aggression

  Posted on May 21, 2013 by PavementRunner in Everything Else

  A run is sometimes all we really need. It may be something else for you (yoga, meditation, cycling, strength training), but essentially hitting the re-set button with a good workout is just what we need. I hadn’t run in a couple days, taking Sunday and Monday off and my 14 mile run on Saturday wasn’t [...]

  Posted on May 19, 2013 by PavementRunner in Everything Else, Training

  Road ID: It’s Who I Am

  Posted on May 14, 2013 by PavementRunner in Reviews & Giveaways

  The importance of runner safety may be one of the most important things that often gets overlooked. With recent events, it has definitely been on the forefront of my mind more so than ever. I’m guilty of it more times than I am comfortable admitting. Often times, my mid-day lunch runs are done with out [...]
