Here are some highlights from the past few months of my life. I don't know why I don't update this more often...
One of the perks of my job is to take the kids on adventure field trips. We've gone power tumbling a few times. It is basically unsupervised gymnastics on professional equipment. Sadly I am only able to do lame things like front flips, handstands (thanks yoga), etc. I did attempt a double trampoline trick which bounces you off a padded wall, but it ended in the loss of skin from my feet. My feet, poor things, are used to losing skin, so no big deal :)


This was my first attempt to go up a mountain with clip pedals. I have the wipeout shot, but that is too much spandex and humiliation fo my comfort. I'm okay on easy trails like the one seen here, but snow patches and turns... that's a skill I'm going to master. I'm hoping to do my next race in September. That gives me enough time to train after Nepal.


I was determined to summit this mountain... it was spring! Fortunately I new the trail well enough that little snowy patches like this didn't throw me. On the way up the mountain we told each other stories about stranded hikers... the sawed off his own arm kind of stories... good times!



Amy came up for a day... my bff that's stuck in Phoenix. We shopped for fabrics and visited our old stomping ground. Love her!


Spring is my favorite.
