Last week was filled with a lot of indoor cycling, and not much else. My sprained ankle is still giving me problems, and it’s started to make me angry. I just want to run! And do some lower body strength training! Nonetheless, the main thing about sprained ankles is that you just have to rest in…

While I haven’t officially started my podcast yet (it’s under construction), I do love to listen to podcasts! I especially love them for when I’m driving, but I’ll sometimes listen…
