They also gave us a George Foreman Waffle Maker! I can’t wait to use it! Chris got me a gift card to the new TCBY frozen yogurt shop! He also…

Practice for the Hairy Gorilla

We drove up to Thacher Park to run the trails and do a bit of light hiking. We ended up running about a mile since my hip started acting up and just walked the rest, which was okay in my book. I needed to get in at least a little bit of trail running before the Hairy Gorilla Half Marathon! I’m still on the fence about running the whole half marathon of the trail race or sticking with the 6 mile version. I’m torn! I…
