I'm doing 25 things
i am registered for a triathlon with my family in the “non competitive team” category. i won’t technically be completing the entire thing on my own but i think this will have to suffice. i am doing the biking – 29 miles, my husband is doing the running, and my cousins are doing the canoeing.
