Girl Power Running Playlist
I may still use a paper planner, but I love my iPod. It keeps me entertained and moving when I run! The ipod was a gift to myself after I ran my first 5K several years ago and it’s been my favorite running toy ever since. Over the years, I’ve loaded playlists to suit my [...]
