Yesterday was 10 miler number 2 for Disneyland Half Marathon weekend! We had crazy nice weather and you can read more about how it went at the end of this post. I did love this picture (which is actually at the entrance of a local sub-division and stands for Pecan Ridge but I’ve decided it …
It’s Day 29 of the 30 days of 5K’s challenge and I really should wait to write this until tomorrow after I’ve ACTUALLY completed the entire thing, but tomorrow’s Sunday, and as my domain name suggests, I work all day Sunday so you’re getting it today.
