If at first you don’t succeed…dust yourself off and try again!!!

As you may recall, week 2 was a major fail because my body had its own agenda.  Being sick that week really sucked but maybe it was my body’s way of telling me to slow down.

Well, let me just say I need to go have several seats. This week running at my CP was very…
