Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. It’s wild how sunshine and getting up ridiculously early can help to alleviate depression. I already told Lumpy that my plan for Sunday is to lay in the hammock and do nothing but soak up sunshine. I’ll ponder running. … Continue reading →

Body Fit Boot Camp

Posted on 10/04/2013 by Sally
