I’m only going running because I want to keep you safe.

December 7, 2013

I’m only writing this post so that I can avoid going out for a run. Coffee in bed just seems like such a better idea. And I know I’m being totally lame because I don’t even have to do a long run since I’m tapering. I actually only need to do a very short run, […]

I have not bought a single gift for Christmas, yet. Ugh. I’m the worst Christmas shopper EVER. First of all, I hate shopping. Second, I have to have everything shipped to Texas and that just seems like a lot of organization – a skill set I don’t possess. I realize there is a new thing […]
