I Am a Triathlete!
I did it! I finished a full triathlon!! On Sunday, I was part of the SheROX Philly tri. This sprint tri includes a .37 swim in the Schuylkill River, a 15.5 (hilly) bike ride, and a 3.1 mile run. Yikes! I haven’t looked up my race times as of yet but that is of little…

Sacrifices…
My house is a disaster. Unfolded clothes are all over a couch. My table is scattered with coloring sheets, notebooks, books, and who knows what else. My boys’ rooms are cluttered with toys all over the floor. My fridge is running low on groceries. My office desk has papers all over. I’m so far behind…

Welcoming 2011 with One Simple Goal
