I do laundry, cook and occasionally walk two miles around the local track. I’m a decent sister and a good friend. And I'm a wrestling mom. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You couldn’t say I am a hyper fan because I am living out my own athleticism through my sons; I am amazed by their fitness and competitive verve, awed by their strength and agility. It is foreign to me, quite separate from who I am and who I ever wanted to be. It is completely unrelated to my youth of occasional swimming, hopscotch and excessive jump roping. ]]></description>
