by Alison M. Starnes Blog
posted April 12, 2010 at 4:41pm
It was raining today.

Me? Competitive? NEVER!
by Chic Runner
posted March 26, 2010 at 7:54pm
So, I have a confession.
I’m competitive. I love to play games and talk smack. It’s even better when I win. I remember in college I took a badminton class and I would talk so much smack to everyone that the teacher would just laugh and laugh at me. H...more

by My so-called FABULOUS life: Brianna Glenn
posted March 17, 2010 at 10:22pm

posted March 3, 2010 at 4:24pm
People love visiting the Olympic Training Center. I guess I kind of get it…but not totally. It’s still just a bunch of training fields grouped together for different sports and they slap the Olympic rings on it and all of the sudden it seems really ...more
