We’re at a time ending in .85 now, so we … More A perfect day to pace the Rehoboth Seashore Half Marathon

Although it seems extremely unlikely I’ll meet my goal of running more than last year (I would need more than 180 miles to make it), I … More November recap: A marathon and a milestone
Follow @vanessajunkin Once again, I celebrated Planksgiving during the month of November. Yes, I celebrated Thanksgiving, too — but this post is about BeyondFit Mom‘s 30 Days of Planksgiving.
