What's better than Friday? A Friday post on a Monday. In truth, I'd planned to post this on Friday, but I couldn't make my way to a computer as I was miles away from home, right in the center of Savannah for my first Rock N Roll series half marathon.

Run this city…
*Disclaimer* I have never had more fun compiling a blog post than this one. I am pretty glad our house isn't visible from the street, otherwise, everyone would've gotten a free show. Race season is almost upon us, folks. I could not be more excited. I am ready to test my physical limits and get back into my long runs.

The claims that Beaulieu makes are completely valid, although I suppose I am one of those people that has oddly loved how much my life has changed.
