NEXT UP!!

Hey Gang-
Before I begin- see this beautiful photo to the left?!? My dear friend Kelley took this photo, and others, for our professional portfolios. We had a blast working on this project and I'm very thankful she took the time to do this for me!!

Now, by popular demand, I've decided to continue my fitness blog. I've decided to dedicate my efforts towards more figure competitions. I'm a little bummed that for now I have to put marathon training on the side, but I can always come back to that at a later time. I am 12 weeks out from my next competition, Ironman Natural in LA at the end of January. From then, there is another competition in February and in March. My hopes are to compete all next year if my body allows it! I'd love to get my hands on a procard!!
