Spontaneous race binge
I’ve never been a fan of racing into shape but that is exactly what I am doing this fall after my normal summer hiatus from training – and I’m having the time of my life doing it too!! Which is kinda surprising me and making me giggle. I like to giggle ;-) My tag line for 11 […]
