Three times in a row. 26 posts in 30 days. Stories from everyday life. I was on the verge on skipping this year’s A to Z Challenge and was prepared to not feel guilty. I was okay with the rest of my life taking priority over blogging in April. And then, I woke up on … More And it’s a wrap! #AtoZChallenge
Today was a Sunday like none other. I woke up at a decent time and reached this place where I had committed to show up. And what was I going to do? Attempt my first Zumba class.

So much to do … More S for So what? #AtoZChallenge
Let me start by clearing the air. I am not running a marathon. Yet. Today’s story is about Katherine Switzer. This year she marked 50 years of the day she was stopped from running a marathon.
