Giveaways!

To keep things interesting during my Saturday morning Crossfit Endurance classes, this week our Coach opted to send us out on a trail run.

Since I do not do a lot of races, I feel like each event is an opportunity for me to get “dolled up.” I love wearing running skirts (see tutu in the Shamrock ‘n Roll; and C9 skirts in the Corktown race and Turkey Trot; so when I came across a local company that specializes […]
