Running

It was the first day of the week and I was excited to run. I was bent on doing another 8k. It was Kernan’s rest day so he was just going to accompany me to UP. Just as we were preparing to leave, our eldest daughter Jamaine stirred from the bed and opened her eyes. [...]

One thing I learned from the Nature Valley Run: always believe in yourself and never pass up a challenge. Sadly, I didn’t do that months ago when the registration was still open. So I was back to being a spectator slash uber fan for hubby during the second leg of the RunRio trilogy. But I [...]
