Three Things Thursday, August 21, 2014
Read this Post: Three Things Thursday, August 21, 20141. I haven’t been posting about my marathon training because they’re pretty much the same ones each week. I am even bored with them. Either I make them more interesting or just post them every two or three weeks. Overall my runs are OK. I did not do my easy or tempo runs last week…

Three Things Thursday, July 24, 2014
Read this Post: Three Things Thursday, July 24, 20141. I finally got rid of my scale. I would weigh myself every Wednesday morning before getting ready for work. The number on the scale would range from 158-167 every week. I know better than to listen to it. I’ve gained weight over the years (per my scale) but am down 2 sizes in pants.…
