Enjoying Outdoor Running
Hello Friends! The thing I love about running outside is the scenery. Duh. I live in a neighborhood with a gazillion houses all smooshed together, but just outside of it, you can find nature…other than the yellowed lawns and potted plants.

Hello Friends! How’s your week going so far? I am back at the good ol’ hotel slash my second home, keeping the BF company while he works on the railroad in small town Nebraska. Looking back at what I ate the past couple of days makes me long for home…where I have a full sized…
Keep Moving
Hello Friends! Running is not always easy or fun for me. Take today. It was abnormally warm today and I have been used to bundling up like crazy to run. I wore a sweatshirt that I had to awkwardly take off (after taking off my garmin watch and glasses and almost dropping my ipod five…
