Make it visible
I’m going to tell you a little something. It is important to me and something that should be discussed and not ignored. This isn’t a complaint. Or whining. But here I am. I look fine. Like nothing hurts, a regular selfie, but you can’t see my migraine attack right? What would happen if I stopped…

Cupping with red light therapy
Being a runner and someone who battles chronic pain every day, the tools that are needed to survive are useful for both worlds. I do look for the most functional, best effective ones.

Run Orlando
So half marathon number 8 has been completed. I have my 3rd OUC Half marathon under my belt. I had not been well enough to train so I wasn’t expecting much out of this race. Boy I was wrong… I usually have a pre-race routine the night before a race. I will lay out my gear, and…

Running is tough, but so am I
Don’t take running for granted. It’s a gift not many get to experience.
