What a full summer, Darlene! So many races, trips, and celebrations packed in! A 100th birthday and a 2nd birthday in the same season is pretty special.
I love how you mix your fitness life with social activities. You will be celebrating YOUR 100th birthday with a race, I’m sure!

Wow, your summer was way more exiting than mine! I could share a photo of my eye from when I had pink eye…
i love the two birthday celebrations! And all your trips and races. I agree with Catrina- you should make it a goal to celebrate your 100th birthday with a race!

Our summer feels like it ended long ago (even though it still feels like summer in temperatures). These are all great pictures and even better memories!
