One Week after September 11 September 4th, 2011 @ 5:59 am PDT

Five Miles in Los Angeles August 3rd, 2011 @ 8:15 am PDT
Last night I decided that I needed to get my butt in gear and start taking care of myself. I haven’t exercised in almost three months and it had been almost a year since I went for a run. So I grabbed my Nikes and my iPod Nano and hit the pavement. The heat wave […]
