It’s been a while since I last posted. Life has been a bit overwhelming lately — things going on personally that have left me disturbed, emotionally drained, and, honestly, questioning a lot.

My first 5 K
I registered for the 5 K race in March 2015. At that time, I was not able to run more than a mile at a stretch.

Go for it people!
