Oh man… this is the third draft of my 2015 Year in Review post. This has been a tough post to write. While there were some nice highs, there were some tough lows to deal with. My Health: 2015 was a much healthier year for me than 2014. I started Field Control Therapy in … More 2015: Year in Review
So, last week I completed round four of Field Control Therapy. All-in-all, it went well–the detox symptoms weren’t as terrible as they were during the previous rounds.

My first race of the weekend was the Live Well SD 5k. My vegan IG/FB friend, Carly, invited me to run this with her and fiancé.
