Usually on running days (Tuesday and Thursday), I cook dinner after the run. Sometimes it is time consuming and I do not eat until later than I would like. The run starts at 7:00 pm and lasts until around 8:00 – 8:15 pm. I walk the 5 minutes back to my apartment and then take… Read More Changed up my routine a little bit
My day starting out with me going over to the Victor Hugo market for some supplies.
