four places you can find me:

Running (either at a race or chasing my one year old daughter, Addie, all around)
Biking (favorite route: the Cannon Valley Trail)
A dog park with my pups Tyson, Juni and Jack (a chocolate lab/basset hound mix and two great pyrenees/husky mixes)
Home Depot/Menards, planning my next home improvement adventure with my husband
