New Shoes

Makani II by Scott. I arrived at FrontRunner today with the intention of buying another pair of Asics exactly like the pair I have been wearing since March. (I know, I put way too many miles on my shoes to have waited […]

A Friday Morning Walk

Me on the deck in front of Antrim Lake. Happy Friday! You are here! The morning was so beautiful I took advantage of the time off from work to head to Antrim Park to get in a couple of laps. With the sun […]
