Shoutin’ from the Rooftop

Well, it is hard to believe that my race is Saturday! Thankfully, I am feeling much better. I still have bouts that my stomach isn’t a happy organ but otherwise, I am doing so much better. Sunday, my sister, Kerri, & I went for a run together. We have always said that we were going [...]

I will not panic. I will not panic. I have to run 13.1 miles in 9 days. I am still fighting this stomach/intestinal flu. Megan woke up in the middle of the night with it. I haven’t run since Saturday. I will admit I am getting nervous. I was planning on attempting an 11 mile [...]
