Blog Hopping (a new discovered blog you would like to share with the readers):
I haven't discovered any new blogs this week, but I have started one of my own. I'm doing some charity work for Peak 4 Poverty. This blog chronicles my journey of helping them. Check it out, and donate if you can!

Lesson learned the past few days:
Well, I was feeling some pain in my shins after a lot of running this week and I just ignored it, and instead of resting I went for a long run yesterday. Big mistake. I need to learn to listen to my body. I should have taken it easier because today I'm hurting pretty bad.


On my mind:
Getting my shins better so I can keep running.
