I’m not so stealth and Breakfast Bars

I like to run. I joined Utica Road Runners a few years ago but, being a bit introverted, never pursued volunteering and never attended club social functions. Just call me shy.

My right hamstring told me “NO WAY!” I laced up the sneaks and headed out with Shane. I couldn’t run [...]
