Cycling eh?!
When I was about 14 years old I biked everywhere... Since then I have biked zero places. It was always so refreshing and fun! Plus I lived by the mountains so the view was always amazing! I guess the fact that it was my only personal form of transpirations besides walking probably played a role … Continue reading Cycling eh?!

Tune Into You
Running With No Destination When I think of running on the treadmill it was my impression that this would be easier in comparison to running outside. On a treadmill, you can control incline, speed and in many cases temperature. This past week the weather sucked so I was forced to do my running inside... We … Continue reading Tune Into You
The Undo List
I saw this post on Project Happiness's Facebook Page that challenged people to make an undo list. This list isn't based on regrets but things you would like to cut out of your life. I think this is a great thing because I make todo lists on a daily basis, why not have a list … Continue reading The Undo List
