I haven’t had a whole lot of time lately. Thus the lack of updates. Also…running has not been occurring much due to one thing or another.

Wow! That was a great trip! We left on July 2 and drove to Bend, OR on day one and stayed the night. I thought I could grab some beer from Deschutes Brewery Pub, but I was wrong. I worked a midnight the night before and was exhausted. Thus, I just crashed around 8pm. We then drove to Granite Bay, CA to visit my Aunt and Uncle. The views of Mount Shasta were amazing!

I ran 6 miles yesterday. My lower legs are certainly feeling it. So tonight…after dinner I went on a 45 minute bike ride instead. I thought the break would be good. Read more...
