“Oh how the mighty have fallen!” Those were Adam’s exact words this morning in response to learning that his wife (that would be me) who just over six months ago ran a half-marathon can now barely jog through the neighborhood. It’s true.
I officially have the springtime jogging bug. My brain says, “Run!” but [...]
Megan was home from school this past week for spring break. It was nice to have her home (and I liked sleeping in every morning!). It’s hard to believe that there are just ten weeks of school left in the year. Soccer will begin in one week and there are only six [...]
