GOALS Ever since I started training for CIM people have been asking me what my goal is. For the longest time my response has been “I’m going to see how my training goes and figure out my goals closer to race day.” But with …
After a week off from work it’s back to reality today. The past 7 days were such a great refresher and we the perfect mix of production around the house and fun family time. We also took family pictures on Saturday morning and Lavinia was …
