A Simple Hello

Communication is very much a hot-button topic these days, as political rhetoric flies during debate season and we become more and more engrossed in (and desensitized to) a bevy of television, telephone, and social media options. No matter the occurrence, and perhaps now more than ever, commu…

No Boundaries Beginners 5k Training

I had the privilege of being one of the coaches for our No Boundaries Beginner’s 5K training program several years ago and I absolutely fell in love. On the first day we noticed a lot of uneasy looks on the faces of our participants. This was easily understandable though since after ch…

Blame it on Christine

Christine made me write this. I was tempted to not write for Toro Talk this week-I had plenty on my plate, and didn't have anything noteworthy to chat about-but a while back I made the "mistake" of telling Robert that people needed him to be more present and hear his voice more often, and ap…

In 17 Days

In 17 days, my life will cease to be entirely mine; rather, it will be wholly consumed by the Critz Tybee Run Fest.  Porta-john, light tower and scissor lift placement, course marking and water stop prep…these will be the items of the day(s) and the first and last things on my min…

High-Fives All Around

One of my favorite races of the year is upon us: the Yates Astro Resolution 5K Trail Run (yes, it’s a mouthful, but deal with it, people) is this Saturday, January 9 at 8:30!  Run along the marsh, jog past the striking chapel, and moo back at the cows as you trot through this beau…

Thank You

I should probably save this post for next week, when it's truly "Christmas/Holiday Week", but I'm a realist and recognize that there is an awful lot going on then and emails tend to fall by the wayside and get lost in the shuffle (right now, you might be wishing this email had gotten lost in…

December: The Time for Tacky Sweater Parties...and the Enmarket Savannah Bridge Run

As I sit down to write this, I realize it’s the first day of December; Christmas is nearly upon us, then the New Year.  What on earth happened to 2015 (as I was wishing my days away as a youth, my mother always warned me that time goes by more and more quickly as you get older, bu…

Second Harvest

Usually at this time, in this space, I’d give you some clever running jargon, helpful training tips, or even talk about a fun, and supremely worthwhile, upcoming race (this Thursday at 8:30 AM is the 7th Annual United Way Turkey Trot—there is certainly no better way to start your…

Rock n Roll Savannah Weekend 2015

What a fast-paced, exciting, and exhausting Rock ‘n’ Roll weekend we had (and by “weekend”, I mean Thursday-Sunday)!  Methinks the only folks that expended more energy than runners/walkers during those days were the weathermen/women in town (but without the accom…

Rock n Roll Week

I’ll keep this short and sweet, because it’s Rock ‘n Roll week and both you and I are busy (unless you’re not participating, in which case you have no excuse not to read this…you know, other than your normally overly-busy lives getting in the way, of course).
