A Mile A Day: Day 7
It’s incredible how different the same places can look under different positions of the sun. Last night, mile 7 was completed at dusk.

A Mile A Day
If you regularly win your FitBit group challenges, you need to leave. Seriously, I want to get to know you better but this post is not the post. This is not our day. If, however, you are consistently in last place and feel like your friends really only invite you so they can feel like…
