Wow, I’m Out of Shape

It’s been a long time since I’ve said I’m out of shape, but the time has come to acknowledge it. Being out of running shoes for the past 8 weeks has put a real damper on my energy level and motivation to exercise. I’ve gotten out a couple of times for random cross training, but [...]
