Hi team...
Nancy - I am feeling pretty good today. Got some much deserved sleep and woke up ready to go this morning. I missed the peacefulness of my usual Sunday morning ride (I chose to sleep in) but other than that, I felt pretty great. Thanks for asking...
Oh and for all of you wondering when the next race is, mark September 27th on your calendars. Another ten miler with free pints of microbrewed goodness waiting at the end... Of course, I haven't decided if I want to look for something else in between or not...
I spent the afternoon at my cousin's graduation party. Had a blast catching up with the family. I was stunned when one of my uncles came up to me to tell me that I looked great and that he was really proud of me for doing what I am doing. This guy does not dole out compliments easily so that really meant a lot to me. I didn't overeat or graze while at the party so it was a victory for me - yeah...
Thanks for the comments on the race report.
Lisa and Kelly - I was a blubbering fool by the time I finished it so thanks for sharing in the tears. Man, you never know when these emotional outbursts are going to take over do you?
OK - so now I need to catch up on the goings on in all of your lives...
Lisa - how goes the closing on the new place? Do you have a moving date yet?
Kelly - yeah on being a godmother!!! very cool.
Lyz - Sending hugs to Molli... She will get them next time. Nothing like a little setback to spur on some determination right?
Liz - family vacations and drinking go hand in hand right? Hope you are having a good time.
Erika - Glad you had fun at the pool club today. Good luck on the decision making, but I agree that experience could be great for the kids.
Dawn - hope everyone is having a blast at camp. As for Treyner's hair, it will grow back. Get ready for four years of experimentation. That is all part of the college experience you know. I went to college as a traditional pop song singing kid and came back a fan of alternative music. I remember my sister saying that she was getting nervous because I liked the B-52's...
Besides, if that is the worst thing you have to deal with, you are doing pretty darn good....
Nancy - congrats to Becca on her 4 reserve championships. Sorry for all of the laundry...
Kat - I really do think laundry multiplies when you aren't looking. How else do you explain that one person can generate 3 - 4 loads of laundry per week?
Cathie - how was the festival?
LisaPR - miss you... getting ready to start my 1/2 marathon training and one of my resident coaches is missing. That makes me sad.... Hope the job is getting better.
Who am I forgetting? Stacey, Steph, Sunny, Heidi and everyone else... Hi!!! Hope you all are doing well.
OK - off to get a bit of a workout in and then to get things ready for the week ahead... (laundry and stuff - fun...)
Catch you all later
You must feel AMAZING after such a big accomplishment!!!
made me laugh. takes waaaay more than a good night sleep to make ME coherent enough to work photobucket 
To give you an indication of my skills, I refer to myself as Amish. I'm not really a techno-phobe, but just really slow to catch on! As my son so generously posted on *my* FB page, "I am the most technologically challenged person alive" ....or something equally as thoughtful 
Becca came home from camp yesterday 
Laundry abounds.
