Posted on January 8, 2013 by Robinson — 8 Comments

As I am still “Building back up” (yes I say this a lot.. I am reminding myself as well as you – my dear friends!), I decided 3 miles was a good distance for last night’s run. I picked…

So, its friday – always a good day for countless reasons! Today, despite my graphic pictures posted yesterday, I am able to walk pain-free. The quick recovery from blisters sure beats the weeks of recovery required for a calf strain! After managing to…
