Personal goals
I have a goal to run another half marathon, especially the Bayshore Half in Traverse City, Michigan. I would also love to travel to Bora Bora. It has been a lifelong dream of mine! Eventually, I want to learn how to knit and to finish reading all the Newbery Award winning children's books.
