When Becca got her groove back. HAHA. But seriously, I got out of my post-race FUNK and started looking forward to my workouts. April started kind of like how March ended but after a fun afternoon 5K I was energized to start working again. I added strength back into my schedule, I made healthy meals … Continue reading April Stats
Greensboro, NC | April 10, 2022 | Time: 29:29 | Run a race for fun?! Sounds counter to my DNA haha Pre-Covid and pre-babies I went out hard in every single race attempting to best my previous times.

January was all about the fresh start! I set up my goals, I did a lot of decluttering at home, and start training for my spring half. Picky Bars gave us a 30for30 challenge- and I crushed it.
