I’m kind of scared to put this into writing

I’ve been struggling with getting enough exercise since I came back from my trip to the Bowron Canoe Circuit, in the summer of 2006. When I decided to take the challenge to participate in the canoe trip with Tee, I started a fitness routine to get into shape. It was going to be [...]

Knittery, etc photos, as promised
