Race day cheerleaders should you bring them? I read a race recap post recently from Better LIVIN whom I follow and that sort of inspired this post. It sounded like she had a bit of a rough time with her cheerers that race and once or twice honey hasn't been totally over the moon excited... Continue Reading →
So I got fancy new paddle board for my birthday last week. I figured I'd tell you all about how it went in the very first week. Hint: it's awesome! How it came to be Not super proud of this but this is how it went down. We watched Blue Crush 2 on Netflix this... Continue Reading →
Sure I work physically this time of year all out for about two months, a bit less all out for the surrounding two more. This time of year we go from 8:40 till at least 6, often 8:30 pm... but roofing is dawn till dark with rain in the forecast. Most days that's not enough... Continue Reading →
