Bedtime Story
... There was an ambitious lady who thought it would be a great idea to work hard for 21-days straight so that she could be more fit and more consistent in her workouts and blogging. She washed her best running tights, laced up her best running shoes, and loaded up her spell check, and off… Continue reading Bedtime Story

The Longest Day
Today was a good day, but a long day. Early running, light breakfast, off to work (5 hours from my home), several hours at work (no lunch), 5-hour drive home, etc. Glad to be home, happy to be on Day-9 and still going. By the way, this is hard; working out every day and writing… Continue reading The Longest Day
