Doom and gloom

Darn, I had already written this post but hadn’t saved, then accidently closed my page. So here I am re-writing!
It has been so gloomy and rainy here the past week that I haven’t made any effort to get out there and run or even bike. Rollerblading is out of the question as I don’t want [...]
