Janie & Megan & Stupid... A Love Story

Updated: Aug 23, 2019

My partner in crime for the FIRE & ICE ULTRAMARATHON is definitely the best part about this adventure.


This probably won't be exciting to anyone, but I wanted to give proof of the long line of bad-decision-making we come from. ❤️


Megan and I have known each other for over 20 years. We lived in the same neighborhood when our kids were young...her daughters were the first (and only) people to ever call me a princess. To this day, I'm still Princess Janie to them.


So here it is, in all its glory: Megan & Janie & all our stupid.
