Hi guys! Remember me? As I was sitting here contemplating half marathon no. 9 TOMORROW, I realized I never posted a recap of the Smuttynose Half Marathon last month! Of course, now that 4+ weeks have gone by, my memory is a little foggy, but I’ll give it my best shot. The good thing is […]
Sundresses, Smoothies and Summer Cravings {prAna Giveaway}
