Working towards my goal of 25 half marathons by the time I’m 55 has me hustling and signing up for races beyond the Capital Region.

Being comfortable in the skin you’re in
(I considered placing a warning here for male readers, but that would be a disservice to any guys who may appreciate skincare. Like my son.)
