A Letter

Taking the Cream of Wheat Show…

December 9, 2009

On the Road! Last night while looking at the weather for today, I realized my run this morning was going to be done on the treadmill.  Also, thinking about how helpful it was to bring my breakfast to work today, I decided to take Cream of Wheat Wednesday to work.  Before heading over to the [...]
