happy belated blogiversary to me

April 27, 2010

losing the baby weight

November 15, 2009

This is kind of an update on a post from mid-October about getting in shape and barefoot/minimalist running. I’m still at it! Before Owen was born, I was in the best shape of my life. You know those guys who are like, “I was in awesome shape in high school but as I got older [...]
