My First 5K and More... 
You are a running machine, Darlene! (hey, that rhymes!) 🙂
I run 3 days a week right now, but my mileage has dropped significantly now that I’m not training for a half, so I’m thinking about adding a day.

Used to be a lot more. I don’t know what’s wrong with me lately. I have fallen into a running funk even though I know how much I love it when I run. 🙂
