First Half Marathon Completed!
This past Sunday I ran my first Half Marathon. Started trying to run this past January after several failed attempts in the last 5 years. I was just "not a runner". After 11 months of crossfit I gave it another shot and this time I LOVED IT. Had a little tweak of an injury 4 weeks before the race which led to some taping…

First 1/2 completed.
Ran my first 1/2 this past Sunday. Been training since January and have run the distance about 6 times prior to the race.

Pure (Paleo) Wraps...Review
Order some Pure (Paleo) Wraps a few weeks ago and just haven't gotten around to trying them. But they have a LONG shelf life. They are NOT cheap but I thought they would be a nice addition to my diet. I LOVED IT.. I OVERFILLED with chicken, red bellpepper, onions and pico de gallo and it didn't tear at all.. A tortillas…

Are we taking "active" steps to NOT be single?!?
I was asked by someone about a year ago... if I was taking active steps to "not be single". The answer then was NO.
