Running Transformed
Cast you mind back to many years ago. Were you ever taught how to run? I wasn’t. Running is just a basic motion that anyone should be able to do with some efficiency. For those who are so out of shape that they can’t run a mile, or a short …
AHA Moments
Bad time to start my hand balance everyday challenge. I go to gymnastics and end up sore for 4 or 5 days afterwards. Then off a whim I end up in a 6 mile road race. This too leaves me sore. And it’s not like I can’t hold a handstand. …
