Hi bhebhi! A pinch and a punch for the first blog of the month. If someone asked me to describe myself, somewhere between “published author,” “blogger,” and “lover of things,” I would probably add “runner” to the list. And before anyone questions my credentials, allow me to present my case:…

Last night, my four-year-old helped me decide what to write about today. Well, sorta…kinda. I told him that I write and it’s called blogging and that people actually read them 👀 (hello, hi). I then asked him what I should write about and he said write numbers. Uhm. “It has…
