For years, one of the most fun and valuable exercises I do with clients is a kitchen clean out. We go through the pantry, the cupboards, the fridge and the freezer and dump everything that’s not actually food.

I even got the winning number. Can you top A1111? In corral 1. But I wasn’t be there. My disappointment goes beyond words. There’s a part of me that was still thinking somehow I’ll be there this morning to toe the line at the 2017 LA Marathon, a race I’ve run before, a race which was my first […]
