Yesterday I ran my 5th half marathon of 2012 in beautiful Falmouth, MA. This was the first race in Cape Cod for Zooma Women’s Race Series.

Holy Ghost!

July 22nd, 2012 | Add a Comment

Yesterday I went to a shoe fitting specialist who was recommended by my chiropractor. First, let me say I was a bit skeptical.
