Today we did arms and abs. Call me a weenie, but I really didn’t want to go to the track and do 400s in the cold. I know, I complain when it’s hot AND when it’s cold.

I ran the slowest five miles ever this morning. At one point I was going so slow a walker passed me. Massoman even finished and circled back in his car to make sure I was okay. I was. I even saw a shooting star through the fog; I love early morning runs. I’m good with [...]

I’m back at it, but new and improved. Meet my new BFF, Adam – he’s a football player and if you’re mean to me or Cindy he’ll tackle you. Sweet Adam is a little shy about becoming a celebrity, but I told him he’d get the hang of it in no time at all! Full [...]
