Letter from the Editor, July 2016
Letter from the Editor, July 2016 Hello readers, hope you’re enjoying your summer full of track and field and hopefully some vacationing and relaxing.

Any stuttering or breaks in the stride pattern can throw things off in a major...
A Simple Trust
A Simple Trust Everything it is what it is. Yet everything is so much more than what it appears to be. The same can be said for people. People are worlds. Universes.
