What Now?
Ever have this question haunt you? It has been following me for about a week now. I received good news about some medical test results, both of which came back normal.

Home For The Holidays Virtual 10K
The other day on DailyMile I ran across a group having a spirited virtual 10K and I thought it would be fun to participate. You can check out all the details with Stephanie. It appears many took on the virtual 10k with gusto. There were costumes and group runs all celebrating the holidays with a healthy approach sprinkled with a ton of fun.
