Scenes from the Weekend

by tinareale on April 30, 2012

What to Do When You Can’t Run

by tinareale on April 2, 2012

I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since last Wednesday, huh? Sometimes a bit of unplugging is just needed. Don’t you agree? I certainly enjoyed it! Ever since a week ago when I found out I can’t run for the time being, I have had to fill my time in other ways. [...]

Staying Heart Healthy

May 14, 2012
