The pig has awoken and put on his Vibram Five Fingers again.


So, here we are past the hump day and on the down ward slide to the weekend.  (Yay Weekend!!!!!!!)  I am afraid that I have to admit something.   Despite the best of intentions,  I didn’t get back to running until Weds.

Productive Weekend!
