I can see it in your eyes-do you see it in mine

by Rick January 27, 2009

I thought of this post while I was doing my long run a couple of weeks ago. I think this every time I go running to my favorite park. There are always a lot of people exercising on this park’s trail. A lot of people who are just starting their journey go here to get [...]
