Count Down
Just 3 more days until Iron Girl! I realize this is only a sprint, but at the same time it is still a challenge for me because I want to push myself.

Scooter Time
It’s been ordered and paid for! I should get it either Monday or Tuesday. I am SUPER excited and can’t believe I actually got one. I was thinking about the overall benefits of this scooter and here they are: Scooter has a 4 gallon tank and gets 90 miles per the gallon, which means that [...]
