Revisiting how I schedule my Days
At the beginning of this year, I established a few things to schedule in my weeks. My main focus was working out at the gym four days a week. Then I signed up for my first half-marathon. I struggled with figuring out how to include running but eventually landed on running three days a week, …

Quote of the Week 6/11
“You make a life out of what you have, not what you’re missing.” – Kate Morton I love when things come together, just like this quote and my post from earlier this week.
