My baby is getting so big! <br /><br />I am not one for virtual marathons. So far all my road races have gone virtual or postponed to fall so I only have trail/obstacle races this spring. Those have been happening quite regularly for a few months down here now so fingers crossed they all continue to go off without a hitch.

We don't have a weight bench so I often use our ab ball for chest presses. Registration for our local marathon opened this week and I couldn't get there fast enough to sign up for the half. I really, really, really think that fall races will happen in person (spring races will happen as well one way or another though most likely virtually).Birchwood Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504702778025456387noreply@blogger.com
