Making a joke out of motherhood
I decided it was finally time to (wo)man up and give back. So I applied to be a Personal Motivator with the Skirt Sports Kick Start Colorado program and was accepted. Kick Start is an amazing program that provides beginning…
For this race, I did exactly what you’re NOT supposed to do. Tried something new on race day. Changed it up and thought everything would be okay. NOT THE CASE. I believe that the secret to a good race is…
