Happy Marathon Monday! I’m so stoked to track all my friends running the Boston Marathon today!  I can’t say that I’m totally envious of them because the weather is looking downright nasty.  I still have flashbacks from the rain, cold, and wind from 3 years ago.  No thank you! I’ll happily be tracking and watching […]

I’m a runner but I’ve never been one of those runners who runs and that’s it.  Someone who doesn’t do cycling, yoga, swimming, walking, strength training in addition to running.
