Happy Friday! I’m sure those of you who had to head back to work this week are appreciating this three day week, it’s almost the weekend! I’m a little sad because a couple of my good friends are heading home on Sunday, so it means only a little time left with them. But nevertheless, everyone loves the weekend!
With 2012 coming to a close, it’s only traditional to do a few re-caps to look back over the year, what we’ve accomplished and how we’ve changed. I saw Lindsay do this post last week and I thought it would be fun to look over all the races that I did in 2012, since it was a pretty big year for me!
