It’s MONDAY!! What a chilly weekend it was too. My husband, my two oldest children and myself all ran in a 10K on Saturday and I think it was my coldest race to date!

Yes, I do have a stress fracture on my sacrum BUT my doctor seems very confident that I will make a full recovery and will be running and racing again in just a few months. YEAH!!
