I ran the Freedom’s Run Half Marathon today! This was my first race on the east coast and the terrain is definitely different from SoCal. This race was actually in West Virgina and was about 70 miles away so we left the house at 6am to get there in time for the 9am race (I still had to pick up…

Lost and Found
I lost my sunglasses on my run this morning. It was too dark to wear them when I was first leaving, but I need them as soon as the sun comes up because my eyes are very sensitive. They were in my pocket and fell out somewhere during the first mile. When I noticed I had no idea when I…
