The Week in Review

January 22, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

MissZippy, I’m gunning for ya!

January 4, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Um, yeah, not really.  But Miss Zippy (I’m not even going to ask if you read her, because of course you do) had a fun post today about how she’s doing so much swimming lately that she’s gonna take Michael Phelps down this year.  Well, I’ve been doing so much swimming this week that I’m […]
