So, if I were to say the words ACE™ Brand, what comes to mind? For me, I’m instantly brought back to my childhood.

NYC Marathon Training: Week 3 & 4
July 22, 2014 by 19 Comments
To get you up to speed, here is my training recap of Week #1 and #2. And, to be perfectly honest, weeks two and three of NYC marathon training didn’t even feel like marathon training.

After all, I still have 15 weeks before race day which is a reasonable amount of time to get it together {trying {Read More}

Plus, since the month of June was {Read More}

Disclaimer: As a ZOOMA Annapolis race ambassador, Scott James Jewelry provided me with an item of my choice in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own.

They had beautiful sterling silver Ragnar specific charms with each race location and the Ragnar emblem. Our {Read More}
