What's Your Dream?

The Biggest Loser Half and the Snohomosh River Run .  Normally I try not to run more than 2 races a month, for my sanity and my wallet's sake. Races aren't cheap these days! But that's a different conversation. In November I have 2 races already planned Get Your Rear in Gear 5k and the Green Lake Gobble 10k , I'm particularly excited for the mashed potato munch off at the Gobble!
