Wellness word cloud
The successful ones always seem to have something we never will

 

Because she loves to run, we think she loves to run.

But she struggles.

This is truth and when we feel like her, plow through it.

Anything…

But do not quit!

Hit by a Jeep yesterday while running.

Lucky to be alive.

For real.

One stride difference would have been a very different outcome.

Other than that, it was a good five mile run.
