    What did he say….

    I know you all have been following my running and Scoliosis journey. A few weeks ago I was struggling with a new back pain that I have never had before. It was severely debilitating.

  • Light breeze, colored leaves

    With another month down, going into my favorite time of year, I can’t be more excited!!! Fall time in Florida may not be as beautiful or as noticeable being that our palm tree’s don’t change color! But I love the change in the weather. It gets cooler, the heat isn’t killer and it has my…
