Happy Gym Mom day

Celebrate the unpaid chauffeurs today! 🙂

Rosie:

“I’d absolutely not be where I am without my mom – from the hundreds of thousands of trips to and from the gym, to enabling me to get to the competitions; from wiping my tears and encouraging me, whether for an exam or for sports… she’s always been there for me and been my strength.”

I flew to Rio on United, a very inexpensive fare. During the Olympics flights will be extremely expensive.
