Perhaps I’ve watched too many Hallmark movies, or maybe it’s due to growing up in the Minnesota or maybe it’s the winters I spent in Breckenridge and Vail that ultimately strongly influenced me to move to Colorado but there is something that really feels right about ice skating around Christmas time.

In 2020 I managed to run over 1,000 kilometers thanks to the map my fitness You vs Year challenge. I managed to cover 1,000 kilometers pretty quick in 2021 so I pushed for 1,000 miles and managed to capture it =) I think I’ll keep this goal for 2022 and add a cycling goal as well. I rode a total of 2,500 miles this year so I’m going to make a goal of doubling that for next year while also working to capture the tron bike in Zwift.

Bring on an even more fit 2022!

Another Win brings Maxine to an official score of 3-0 vs escape rooms. Escape rooms can be a super fun hour spent with the fam! This is the first one I’ve done with my brother Matt’s family but I guarantee it won’t be the last. Happy 17th anniversary Matt & Crystal!

How do you setup your Christmas tree? Does dad go get it and mom set it up in one afternoon or is it an all day family affair? For us, with a couple super young kids, it’s a fun all day event wherein someone will end up pooping some glitter.
