It was awesome getting to hang out with my brother-in-law and his family, and to see what it’s like to live the island life. We stayed in Guana Cay in the

We’re Taking it Outside Once Again! As the weather gets warmer, training is on my mind again. With a half marathon and bike relay on the radar for spring and summer, I’ve got my work cut out for me.
