Taboo Topic- Running Injuries

Are you superstitious? I am. One of my superstitions is this fear of jinxing myself when it comes to discussing certain topics out loud.

Running Too Many Days and Graham Cracker Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe

graham cracker ice cream sandwich

  I am going to try to force myself NOT to run this morning. I can’t make any promises because I often do what I feel like doing rather than what I should, or really shouldn’t in this case, be doing.

I never got around to baking […]
