#5KaDayinMay We’re 1/3 of the way THERE!!
Just got home from day 10 of my challenge to myself (and some of you) to do a 5K everyday in the month of May. My BRF (Best Running Friend) Sara pointed out that it’s a good thing 5K a Day doesn’t rhyme with August. Indeed. Because I live in TX and that’s just not […]
