This is going to be the life of three girls that won't let winter suck. We all will have a specific job for these next few months. Bryana is our food specialist, Heather is our motivational specialist, and Lauri is our blog/time specialist.
This all came to be when Heather decided that this winter was not going to be like every other winter in her life. She decided to include her favorite roommates and a friend to help her accomplish this goal. We have chosen the St. George Half-Marathon on January 22, 2011. It will be the talk of the apartment for quite awhile and everyone will want to join in the fun. Here are the pictures of our first day, but I also have a fun motivational video, courtesy of Bryana, I will share with you now.
