I bought the blog a birthday bagel. But since blogs can’t eat, I ate it. When I started this blog, one year ago today, it was for the express purpose of getting men and women who might be stuck – emotionally, physically, spiritually – to see how regular exercise, and specifically running, might be part …
So I wasn’t going to write today but sometimes words just beg to get out of me and so here I sit, next to the beautiful roses my husband gave me and wearing the gorgeous bracelet my boys presented me with this morning. I’ve been thinking about my kids all day (typical of us moms, …
