I’m Over 40 And I’ve Never Run – Is It Too Late For Me?
I was 42 when I ran the Chicago Marathon. I am currently 44 years old and I didn’t start running until I was 38. And I have MANY friends who started way later than I did (friends please comment so they don’t think I’m lying about you;). I’ve mentioned this before, but I believe it […]

New Blogging Friends! And Why I Love Bloglovin!
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I am starting to feel like my adventures from this year’s Disney Marathon are going to take up quite a lot of real estate. There was just so much greatness that happened and I had so much fun that I can’t possibly contain it all in just one or two […]
