No, I didn't get a dog. Sad, I know. But yesterday, Karen and I started December with our first 20 miler. I was in pain before we started; my 2 hour gym session on Friday was a terrible idea because my thighs and glutes were on fire just getting out of the car. Karen was …
I love running. This is the first year, where from the very beginning, I've been able to say that. It's my happy place, my therapist, my meditation, and my confidence boost. Although I've been blogging since February, it's only been within the last few months that I've started sharing my blog posts with my friends …
