Get Your Bum in Shape & Eat Good Food: The Fit Foodie 5k Run is this Weekend.

[ 0 ] May 16, 2016 | Johnna

Running is one of those things I have to mentally prepare myself for every time I hit the pavement or treadmill. It was not a fave pastime of mine but I have a feeling that might change after the Fit Foodie Run this Saturday. A race with food involved?? Sign me up.
