Go, Baby, Go!

About two months ago my baby daughter and I were having one of our random conversations. She comes to my house practically every night so that the dogs can play with each other and it's a great time to just hang out and visit. It has not, however, been great for my workout plans. She …

Week Six

I was on the treadmill after work and realized that I haven't given an update on my workout progress in a long time! I know you've been just dying to know how that's going! I'm on week six of my Couch to 5k program! I can't believe that I have made it six weeks. I …
