Last week I wrote a blog post about how I felt like I could finally call myself a runner…and subsequently also jinxed myself, because the very next day I hurt my ankle/foot. It’s been almost a full 5 days since my injury (6 hours in the ER, bandage, icing, crutches and lots of rest prescribed) […]

I had it personally recommended to me, 2. I needed to have a more calculated approach to my nutrition/diet goals and […]
