Posted on 18 May, 2007 by Sally

I was out trail running again, with Guinness, being cautious due to the previous injury, and I FELL.  I kind of wish someone had been there to see it, because it had to be ridiculously funny. I must have caught … Continue reading →

Yep, I did it. I broke down, and jumped on the running skort bandwagon. I couldn’t help it. I just knew that it would go so well with my tiara and glitter sunglasses. I tested out the one I had … Continue reading →
