It was a great weekend. Not only was Monday off, but after a crazy week at work I had much of Friday off as well. Friday I went for a ride. Planned to be gone about 2 hours. I knew I was going to stop at the LBS (squeaky pedal), but figured I could still…

I’m baaaaaack. Ok, well I was never really gone. But I’m writing again. Many rides and runs, and even a few swims, have passed since I last wrote. Hmm… the new bigger things… swim: going pretty well. I really really like working with Karen (a friend and, as it turns out, an awesome coach!). She’s…
