Continue reading “Fitness Log #115 And Friday Firsts”The year is almost over, and as several of my friends have said, good riddance.
However, consigning an entire year to the trash heap seems a little severe.
I spent a little time before Thanksgiving reflecting on what I am grateful for this year; I really do have a lot to be thankful for.
