75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!

Both halfs I’ve run have been during heavy rainfall warnings and that olympic this year during the... Continue Reading →
This is what I do and if you’re at a loss, a first timer or you need to step up your game I think It’s a pretty good place to start. Attached to this post is a pretty free printable checklist with some spots for you to add your own thing. You’ll see that this... Continue Reading →
