Well, kind of. The full recap of Rock and Roll San Diego will be coming, but let me just say: Expect a lot of couple selfies. Because that’s what we did best. We had fun, we took pictures, we struggled, we did a lot of walking. Basically what two, ahem, older people will do when […]
It’s Time to Rock and Roll!
Are We Ready to Rock and Roll? I say this way too often, but damn! Time flies. When I first decided, back in January, to sign up to run my first marathon in over eight years, this date seemed so far away. Yet now, in two more days, I’ll be standing at the start line […]
