well, hello there…
Welcome to Runs With Pugs. My name is Jenn and this is the story of how a husband and wife started running together with Couch 2 5K. I will share the ups and downs of our training for a half and a full marathon, as well as other little peeks into our lives. Oh. We have pugs, too. Thank you for joining us! We're glad to have you along for the ride!-
