Never Give Up

Posted on August 28, 2021 by charliecountryboy

Swim Like a Brick? So Let’s do a Triathlon

Posted on August 21, 2021 by charliecountryboy

I figured sooner or later you might get bored listening to me rattling on about running. So I thought I’d start training for a triathlon. The slight hiccup in the plan is that I don’t really swim. I know… I … Continue reading →

NC500 Day 5 Out of the Mist

Posted on July 30, 2021 by charliecountryboy
