I am up to running most of my mileage – or at least the majority each day – and am still outside despite the wonderful upstate NY temperatures. When I started exercising again, I began as part of… Continue reading I Never Knew
Okay, so I am a Mountaineer fanatic! This is not something that is taken lightly or liked by many in the area of upstate NY I live in as we are less then 80 miles from Big East team Syracuse.
