Ode to Running

How I love to run and go for miles and miles—
 up a hill or down one,
 on a dirt trail or on the gravel.
On a paved road or through the mud.
 Below the redwood trees or through the golden hills.

Sleep, Stress and Slow Recovery:  The Hidden Hormone Link for Female Runners

Do you feel like recovery from training your runs, hikes or long adventures and races is more of a challenge these days? If your “recovery sleep” feels more like staring at the ceiling at 2 a.m., you’re not alone and not imagining it! And, it may be more than just training stress!

“Beginning of the 2024 Cocodona 250…….. Let’s Go!” Corinne Shalvoy’s voice rang out on the livestream as runners surged over the start line, their headlamps slicing through the predawn haze in Black Canyon City.
