5 5Ks in 5 Days Challenge Complete!

Paying it Forward at the United Run for the Zoo

Small Town Run, Big Time Fun
About 50 miles north of Chicago is a suburb called Round Lake. Admittedly, I’d have never know it existed except my best friend lives near there. My best friend also loves to talk me into running races with her (it’s not hard to do) and several years ago she talked me into running the Frosty... Read more »
