In an effort to make my lifestyle more healthy again, I rushed home and made it to a great park while the sun was still shining. When you work in an office without windows, sun exposure, especially in the winter, can be […]
It just dawned on me this week that I have a little over eight weeks until the Cincinnati Flying Pig Half Marathon! That’s what happens when job and life stress take over — you forget all about your health and fitness responsibilities. […]
