Hello Friends! It was a snow day yesterday so I stayed snuggled in for most of the day, wrapping presents and eating Christmas goodies, only emerging when Dave came to rescue me in his SUV for a Christmas party. As I was going to bed I saw a tweet last night that the half marathon…

Take a Fitness Break

October 10, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt
