Grateful to slow down and shoot hoops with this handsome boy of mine tonight! He did however inform me that I am not a good shooter and any basket I make is luck. TRUTH. Everything I know about play stick and ball sports I learn from my boys. It is all part of the adventure. #familyadventures #adventuremamas Tenacious, determined, talented, STRONG, and (her word!) stubborn, this lady finished @westernstates100 in the wee hours and I was so happy to witness this moment. I was pretty emotional as I thought about walking around Salt Lake with her, cane in hand, less than two years back. Way to fight @stephaniemariehowe ! So proud of you. Many congrats from me and all your friends @clifbar #feedyouradventure #adventurenutrition #neverstopexploring #ws100 Congrats @sharmanian on a strong day and great finish! #feedyouradventure #ws100 #cliflife #mountainrunners Looking strong in body, mind, & heart @stephaniemariehowe ! #feedyouradventure #mountainrunners #ws100 #seeyouinauburn So happy to support @walmsley172 in his quests of personal challenge and discovery! #nosleeptilauburn #feedyouradventure #cliflife #mountainrunners Second sabbatical send-off for @ricardobalazs Enjoy every minute.
