Travel
I’m at the beach, in Waldport, Oregon with my friends. Happy happy, joy, joy. More about the running tomorrow.
I went to Washington DC a couple of weeks ago, after my trip to the FitBloggin Conference. I was only there for a day, but managed to meet some old friends and some new friends. I’m lucky that way. It was a chilly Tuesday morning in DC, and I was standing in front of the [...]
