You know what? I ran a 5k & it was a BLAST! Not all the days of training at the gym or outside but the accomplishment of actually doing it, especially since it was one of my goals. 5k or 3.2 miles map I'm not exactly sure what I had pictured in my mind, but it was not what actually happened.

It was a sight to see when the shot … [Read more...]
