Going back to last Fall, the right side of my body has felt a little “off.” The aches and pains were too inconsistent to feel injured, but it didn’t feeling 100%. For the longest time I thought it was my hip, but lately, I’ve been feeling twinges in other random parts of my body, from [...]

Well, I’m slowly coming out of depression over the 49ers loss. I watched the game with my cousins and friends. We all love this team so much, and after such an inspiring season, it was a tough loss to take. More than anything, my heart breaks for the Niner Defense – best defense I have [...]

A couple of weeks ago during a yoga class I mentioned to RoadBunner that I don’t really get tired legs. This week made me eat those words. Monday, October 17 Though it was a scheduled rest day, I had ambitions of still getting in some time on the bike trainer, as well as a yoga [...]
