I’m so excited to finally announce that I have been chosen to be a BibRave Pro! What’s that you may ask. Well, have you ever heard about a race but didn’t know too much about it so you were unsure of whether you wanted to run it or not? Were curious as to how actual …
First let me get this minor disclaimer out of the way – I am close friends with the Race Director of this race, which is just one of the reasons I run it each year. She’s awesome, but that will not influence my review. This year the St. Anne School Nun Run, a race to …
