Day #90 We did not post an update last week because we realized that somewhere along the way we got 1 week ahead of ourselves (human error). Today Monday April 21, 2014 is in fact day #90. Today we are volunteering our time and skills at the 2014 Boston Marathon. Our assignments […]
Day #82. Beyond diet and exercise. The first 100 days: A journey to health and wellness.
