Can you believe it is already the end of May? This year is almost halfway through, and I’ve been consumed with my training for Ironman this fall (apologies for not updating you all in a while). Training has been long and exhausting, but it’s been going extremely well! Here’s a snapshot of what I’ve been […]

It was the Hot Chocolate Run, which is hosted at various cities across the country. I highly recommend everyone either […]
