Hella

In preparation for my upcoming 10K, I made an attempt at some training today. Since the race will be on road, I decided to give my newest pair (they are actually old) of road shoes a try. This was definitely a mistake as my foot injury seems to have been aggravated. I will definitely switch [...]

I was in San Antonio a couple times over the weekend and made a quick stop in Barnes & Noble to pick up a book I had read back in sixth grade. I knew I’d have some free time to spend reading but I didn’t have my copy of Angels & Demons with me. I [...]
