I come from a family of walkers. My dad used to be a runner and ran a few marathons before his heart condition, and my mom just liked walking. They taught my sister and I to enjoy it from a young age too, I remember being very young and going to Niagara Falls for a …
I’m not very good at remembering certain things I’ve done; or rather I’m not great at remembering achievements.
