Oh my God, you guys. I don’t even understand why I don’t understand things at the same rate as other people. Like, yesterday, we’re standing on the side lines at the Boston Marathon. It’s one of our favorite days of the year because we live right near the route. We also own a rental home right on the marathon course and every year we go there to cheer on the runners.  Coming from a marathon/triathlon…

I coached at CFNE until about a year or so after Harley Love was born. She’ll be 5 in a couple of months; so, needless to say, I knew I had a lot of relearning to do to catch up to the standard of coaching that CFNE now holds for the entire staff.

Whenever we go away with this group of couples friends of ours, I spend a lot of time thinking about how grateful I am to have found these specific people, and that they want to spend as much time with Ben and I as we do with them.
