By nature, I am not a jealous person. In running it’s always been me against me or the clock. Ok I may try to punk a person or two in the final stretch of a race but only because I’ve forced myself to be more competitive at that point, but mostly I just don’t care. [Read More]
Friday 5
1. Nature’s Bounty Update: Well it’s been 30 days since I started taking Nature’s Bounty Hair/Skin/Nail supplements. First let me say these gummies are quite delicious. The verdict? My hair is great.
