July 28, 2010 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

First of all, THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by yesterday and left wonderful comments.  Your kind words and thoughts were more helpful than I can tell you! By yesterday evening it was clear (as many of you pointed out) that I really needed to go for a run.  And not just any old run, […]
