Every Friday, three DC area bloggers Mary at Mar On the Run, Cynthia at You Signed Up For What?! and Courtney from Eat Pray Run, DC to host the Friday Five linkup. Anyone can join with their own Friday Five post (yes, it must be a Friday Five!!) They encourage you to visit other blogs on the linkup, comment, share and engage!

Happy Running! What are some of your goals?













You are doing so well with your goals this year! I know that I plan to run an average of one race a month and I think I am keeping up with that, as well as staying healthy and not injured. So far, so good with that one, too!
