I’m never going to be one of those people who loves to run. I’ve tried over and over again, jogging on tracks, treadmills, and through the woods. I just don’t enjoy it. But I do enjoy walking. Getting steps in is my favorite way to spend my lunch hour, and my husband and I look

Professional tennis player Jennifer Brady is off to the semifinals at the 2021 Australian Open.
