Me at the start of my PowerRed blood donation, and at the end. Lol! Kidding of course! Give blood and save a life! It might be your own that you save!

I do stupid things for t-shirts! , and held a 24 hour challenge in which you ran, rucked, or walked one mile, on the hour, every hour for twenty four hours. So simple, right?  Well, it was WAY more challenging than I thought it would be! 65,000 steps, 11,000 calories, and one severely jacked up toe later, I finished the challenge with 35 other warriors that didn't know the word quit. I ran 14 of the miles and walked 12..... Wait.... That's 26 miles, right?  Yes! As someone who's never run a marathon, or covered that distance in one day, I added in a couple of extra miles so that I could achieve that goal. All in, I covered 26.38 miles!! Whoo hoo! Don't get me wrong - most of the time, I'm very much a slug, a lazy slug. But, go out and challenge yourself, and do something hard. I feel mentally and spiritually rejuvenated! Good times!

Wishing the happiest of 21st birthdays! I can't believe you're 21 already. I love you sweetie and I'm so proud of you! Mwah!
