On your marks, get set, go!

Welcome to Running Off Balance!  Several years ago my family put together a relay team, and came up with the name "off balance", thinking we were making an oh-so-clever play on "new balance", the shoe company, and the craziness of the run we were about to attempt.  Since then, we have discovered it is probably a more accurate descriptor than we originally thought for most long-distance runners, and my family in particular. (love ya, but you're all crazy!)  We also felt really cool when people mistook it for "new balance" and asked with reverent awe if we were a professionally sponsored team.  While that mistake is rarely made anymore,  the moniker stuck and I thought it would be fun to share the random thoughts and experiences that I have while running.  Happy running!
