Shoutin’ from the Rooftop

For those of you that might not know, this morning was the Indy Mini Marathon and the 5K. Two years ago, I ran my first half marathon at this race. Last year, I ran the 5K and this year I was signed up for the 5K. To be completely, honest I had not done much [...]

I have made no secret of the fact that I love chocolate. In my opinion, it should be a food group. In the past, Dove Milk Chocolate was my pick. Yum. I would even count out the points and have a piece every day. One small piece but it was chocolate. As I was reading [...]
