Pro Football Hall Of Fame Marathon
Photo by OHventures The night before the 2nd Annual Pro Football Hall of Fame (Half) Marathon in Canton, I had a major case of the pre-race jitters. And rightfully so. It was no one’s fault but my own, but I had not trained nearly as adequately as I should have – and I knew better. Last […]
Paint The Night Purple

Ohio Fan
