Here are some of the great runners I met at the Norwood July 4th 5k. Sherry(white cap) and I were both sporting foot injuries and should not have been running a road race. She promised she wouldn’t tell anyone on me and I promised I wouldn’t…….well I haven’t told anyone not reading this story. Does that […]
