Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links TheraGun Usage I’ve been on the fence about how to include my new TheraGun (affiliate link) usage in my daily workouts.

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links Picky Walker and Cycler I have been known to run in almost any weather conditions… an 18-mile run in 34° rain comes to mind where near the end of the run I convinced my husband that we needed to run 2 more miles to make it an even […]
