How is everyone doing? It’s turned a little chilly this week in Minnesota (not surprising by any means), but the weekend is looking decent and we’ll be heading to my brother’s on the farm to celebrate the end of a safe and successful harvest, Halloween, and some serious duck hunting for the guys.

It’s the start of my weekend – as in, yay weekend! I’m headed out shortly for a run … it’s a gorgeous 80 degree evening so we’ll see how that works for me. I’ve been pretty happy with my running regimen as of late – I think I’ve run pretty much every day over the past […] Read more…
