I’m not going to lie, I signed my oldest daughter up for Girl Scouts last spring just to ensure that I wouldn’t miss out on my chance to buy some.

I’m not going to lie, I thought to myself, “this will be a great opportunity to work on my running.” You see, I want to be a runner. I have always considered myself to be somewhat athletic, but shortly after giving birth {Read More}
