Hot Feet, Cold Brews
I know it’s only Thursday, but I am already excited for Sunday. While I was at work yesterday I received a special e-mail from my dad: “Hot Feet run in the morning, then cold brews in the afternoon.” YES PLEASE! I was having a crazy day so his message was really appreciated. I spent much [...]

Honoring Dad

This is my new favorite snack, it really helped fuel my bike ride. We decided to do our typical 18 mile route in the opposite direction to spice things up, neglecting to [...]
