What an amazing year. I've cycled, swam and danced my way through it. 2013 has also lived up to its name and brought with it a fair share of heartbreak. In August, after a five year battle with cancer, we lost our Dad, my original bike buddy.
As I look back I am so thankful for my amazing family and friends who have been by my side through it all. Here are some of my highlights of 2013, it was so hard to narrow it down to two per month. I can't wait to have more adventures with you all in 2014.
