I’m Turning 40 and I Need Your Help!
No, it’s not a fundraiser, and I’m not looking for miracle eye cream. In a couple weeks I’ll hit the big 4-0. The top of “The Hill”, the new 30, official middle age, whatever you want to call it. Do I feel 40 years old? Definitely not. At least not most days. But, here I am. Age is just a number, but society says this number, 40, is more significant. So, I’ve been thinking about it … Read entire article »

January Cross Training: Week 4 #xtrainJan16
