Brrrrrr! It's very cold in Kansas City this morning! We have such odd weather here in the midwest. Yesterday morning when I left the house it was in the 60s. So I only wore a light jacket to work.

Clothing Conundrum
So. I have a lot of clothes. I don't consider myself to be a fashionista and I'm not a shopaholic. Yet somehow I've ended up with tons and tons of clothes.

April Showers…
...bring May flowers. It started raining yesterday in Kansas and it hasn't stopped. It was still raining and thundering when I woke up this morning. Which is great for the garden and the new plants I planted last weekend. However it is not good for running. I was scheduled to do a 5 mile tempo… Continue reading April Showers…
