yes today was Matt’s last cross country meet of the season…. he would only continue if he was in the top 12. Which he is not so after a practice under the lights tomorrow he’s done with organized running. I hope that he will see how bad he actually did this season due to the fact that {Read More…}

Today is better… my head is on my shoulders once again. I have some things in the works that I really hope that I can release on Friday… that’s my intention any way. I’ve been thinking about some things for quite some time and I finally bit the bullet so to speak and went ahead {Read More…}
