It was a great weekend! I drove up to Big Bear on Friday night, and ended up going for a run with Karen and Paul (of Team Sole AR), Jorge (another AR guy), and Brie. It was dark and soooo hilly and at higher elevation than I ever train at, but it was a great…

Wooo! 3 day weekend! This should be a good one… But first… this week has also been pretty good. Still feeling a bit under the weather, but much less so now. I keep surprising myself with my running… for a long time a 10 min mile has just been my average. Sure, a bit faster…

Got back in the pool today… first time since things broke. It felt good! I was tired, so was glad I had talked to Lisa about actually meeting her in real life and getting some swimming in, since then I was committed to going. And now I have a voice and such to put to…

Soooooo… my cast is gone! I now have 2 hands! In celebration, I volunteered a 24 Hr race at Catalina last weekend. It was awesome. I wasn’t planning to do it, but they were definitely short on people, so I said ok. Ended up getting to spend time in the ocean in a speed boat…

I got a new cast on yesterday (after some xrays)… and now it is green! I saw the color and thought of Kermit the Frog. A friend has drawn Oscar the Grouch and Gir (it looks just like the litte green guy there… he's one of my favorite cartoon characters in the world — from…

… but still broken. Left wrist is fractured, right wrist is sprained, left wrist is sprained. Stitches are gone, most of the headaches are gone. I've been running 'cause sometimes I just need to get out of the house. My dayglow orange cast helps keep me easy to see, but I miss having opposable thumbs.…

So after the amount of fun I had in the adventure race, I've seriously been looking for a mountain bike (I had been sorta looking at getting one since around Christmas). I tried out one (a Cannondale SuperV500) but didn't really like how it felt. It just seemed kinda like more of my energy went…
