    It's been a while since I've taken a thirty-minute lunch, and it was nice engaging with my coworkers and catching up!

    I was able to run three miles this morning before work! This has finally started to become a habit that I can do twice a week before work!

    The rain didn’t hold us back! My coworkers and I headed to the gym in our building and powered through two miles on the treadmill.

    I ran another 3 miles this morning before work, and I feel amazing! I'm starting to think running is better than coffee :)
