As the Holidays Near

by DragonflyBlog, The TrailPosted on 30 Nov 201823 Feb 2019No Comments

And the Rain is Coming

I’m feeling physically and emotionally much better than my last running post, which was rife with drought worries, family worries, and even a few health worries. I had written in my first run post that I may someday face challenges as a runner with diabetes. However, running 6-10 miles a week (and hiking, walking on …
