6 Month Running challenge

December 12, 2011

During my days of being barred from any form of physical activity, I’ve been reading and playing Angry Birds. Just tossing those cute furry creatures helps me deal with huge amounts of frustration I’m carrying around. Why am I so frustrated?? Marathon training is at a dead standstill.
