Healthy Chicks

Yesterday my roommate and the guy she’s dating called in sick to work so they could spend the day bumming around together. I immediately applauded them for their genius decision.

Who ever thought two years ago I’d be running a half marathon? It just goes to show that you can do anything you set your heart on. So for all you runners out there- of all styles, shapes and sizes – enjoy!
