Healthy Chicks in the Community: A Cheerful, Fit Foxxy Trotter Who Makes the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies You Ever Ate
Happy Friday ladies! This week completely flew by for me, as I ran the Tufts 10K for Women on Monday and have been busy every since. I’m really looking forward to the weekend, as hubby & I are planning on escaping the city in his brand new car for a fall foliage adventure!
Now to this week’s Healthy Chick in the community, who I can’t wait to introduce you to! Jen is a very special person, and happens to be one of my mom’s best friends. She’s seriously one of the most genuine, cheerful gals I have ever met and she’s a good friend to all. When you’re around her, you just feel good.
That’s why it was extra motivating to have her there for my very first half marathon — the More/Fitness Magazine half in Central Park! In fact, she was our biggest cheerleader the entire weekend and the one who encouraged us to sign up in the first place. No wonder she’s the one that came up with the idea to form a run / walk group for her gal pals, “The Foxxy Trotters!”
My family & I are so lucky to know Jen, and now you all are lucky enough to meet her too!

En husalarm er altså ikke længere bare en husalarm, men derimod en alarm med et
varierende antal sensorer alt efter størrelsen på dit hus, og med brand-, røg- eller panikalarm.

Synes det er veldig hendig å kunne fjernstyre det via telefonen, noe vi ikke
kunne med det forrige systemet vi hadde (Sector).
