3:29am That when I started my run today- Why so early? Had to- my goal was 12, and at a 13-15 minute pace, my run time would be 3 hours.

My Friend Pam, at boomerbackbeat.com was so sweet to pass along a Liebster award to me the other day. Thanks Pam! boomerbackbeat.com The Liebster Blog Award originated in Germany.
