Summer Running!

This blog post is coming to you from my new and improved balcony (pics to follow)!  It's getting hot and humid in NYC, so I'm taking salvation in the breeze 14 floors up from the craziness of the streets below.

Also, here's a link to my favorite running store website: http://www.runningwarehouse.com/.  I'm a huge fan of the cheap prices, free 2 day shipping and free returns.  I'm also a huge fan of the extra 10% discount you can get by entering the code 'RWJUNE11' at checkout!

I'll also be crafting for a cure again with handmade cards, paintings, and my latest creations- hand painted wine glasses!  Orders welcome :)
