Yesterday I was a little wiped out after the race and surprisingly sore. I guess it was more stiffness than soreness. Regardless, I fell asleep on the couch in the early afternoon and that is unusual for me. Then today it wasn’t […]
There is a local organization called Step and Stride that has the goal to help people get fit by walking. Their events are not necessarily races, though some of them are. Today Step and Stride hosted its first 10-mile race that was […]
