Race Recap: 7th Annual atTAcK addiction E-Racing the Stigma 5K

RunBeckyRun

I attended the 7th Annual atTAcK addiction E-Racing the Stigma 5K on Saturday, March 7, 2020. This race grows larger and larger each year, as it is put on to raise funds for atTAcK addiction—a grassroots organization that provides support for recovering addicts and their loved ones, advocates for policy changes, educates families about opiate addiction and treatment options, works to prevent drug use, and strives to end the stigma of the disease. This organization is extremely important to me, as I wrote in last year’s recap for this race, because we lost my sister-in-law Chrissy nearly two years ago … Continue reading Race Recap: 7th Annual atTAcK addiction E-Racing the Stigma 5K

My favorite fruit-on-the-bottom flavors include Blueberry and Peach. I’m currently on the hunt for Apricot and Pineapple! Hubs brought home a Chobani Vanilla coffee creamer about a month ago. I’m mostly a black-coffee girl, but I like creamer as an afternoon treat sometimes. At first I was … Continue reading Product Review: Chobani Blueberry Greek Yogurt with Maple Oatmeal
