Filling in the blanks

I’ve been cramming activity in wherever it fits yesterday and today: I’m still having enough breathing and sinus problems that I don’t feel up to a run, but I fit some YouTube yoga in both days (cutting off shivasana because … Continue reading

I’m not feeling 100% today– could be allergies, could be a cold, either sucks– but J dragged me to the gym to lift and I finished out a lifting sheet, which is always a good feeling. I should work out … Continue reading
