I have so many “favorite” races I do every year, I don’t have much room in my race calendar to try new ones, but this weekend I ran a new-to-me 10 miler that I just may be adding to my list of favorites. Fittingly, it was called the Reston Perfect 10.
One reason I never tire of hearing familiar Bible stories is their timelessness.

Fall is my favorite time of year. The weather turns cool, the trees turn pretty colors, and my calendar is full of fun events. To celebrate the first week of fall, I’m joining this week’s Friday Five link-up and sharing some of my favorite fall activities.
