I Have Confidence!

The last few months have been transformative for me. No, I didn’t say Transformers. (Actually, while I’m confessing about not seeing movies on the blog lately, maybe I should tell you I haven’t seen any of the Transformers movies…& the only reason I think I might ever see them is Josh Duhamel. But, I digress….) [...]

A few months ago, I was training for a half-marathon.  But, let me back up a little bit.  Back in January, I had a chat with a friend of mine, who was training for a half-marathon (so you may not want to chat with too many runners, because they can be very persuasive…).  In said [...]

In tenth grade, we moved to a city full of lakes in central Florida.  Many people use these lakes for taking pictures, feeding wildlife, boating, water skiing, cycling, walking, running, and various other types of exercise.  One particular lake in the center of town is about three miles around and has a nice sidewalk and bike lane.  [...]
