More progress on the house! The outside part of our pole barn home is going up fast. The harder part comes soon with building walls, electrical, HVAC, etc. And, we are tossing around the idea of making the upper part an actual usable loft area.

  I have not said much here in this space, but I have been anxiously waiting for this email from Rock’n’Roll. Being on the team for 2015 and 2016 was an honor that I really can’t put into words. Last year was, without a doubt, my best year of running. 2016 was such a renewal …
