Hey All! Hope you’re all enjoying watching the Olympics. Wow. So much drama and emotion and so many stories! I have always loved sports. To me, sports have always represented fun and play. When I was a shy little kid and my parents asked me what camp I wanted to do in the […]
Hi Everyone! It’s been so great seeing so many of you out doing a multitude of activities. And I hope everyone is getting in some good Olympics watching! I am loving it. What I’ve been thinking about this week is the ability to ask for what we want or need. I think many […]
Hi Everyone! Hope you’re all managing to stay cool and drinking lots of water (dehydration can sneak up on you when you’re going from heat to air conditioning). Also, let’s just stay aware of this smog that is hanging over the city – it is particulates from forest fires, so if you’re feeling any […]
Hi Gang! Many of us are getting into the groove of summer training. We have fall goals on the horizon and are excited to work towards them. This is what we love! Big goals with plans filled with hard work and fun in order to get us there. As we start out and […]
