ok, so i've gotten lazy with the blogging thing. we went to NYC and had a great time. So nice just to be on our own schedule with no races, no kids, no commitments, just us, the city and a morning latte. after 9 years of being caffeine free, i'm back off the wagon. anyway, ken flew home and i flew to Austin, TX and then ended up in Brenham, TX (population for 2000 was 14, 373) for my 20th high school reunion. I was very pleased to find that I was one of the very few who had not gained 20 lbs in the last 20 years. One of the highlights was talking with Starlie Graves who at 36 is training for the 08 Olympics and is likely to make the squad. She was 5th at the trials in 04. She's a long jumper and she was on my first-in-the-nation (thanks Hershey Chocolate) 4x100 meter relay team when we were kids and then all of my state champion relays in high school. oh, those were the days...so the reunion was lots of fun. I'm really glad I went. Missed the 10th but I heard it was a dud.
So now, on to CYCLOCROSS! I love cross because it's no pressure for me. I do it totally for fun and to get some intensity in once a week. I learned my lesson with a broken collarbone my first year of cross and now I will not let my ego, enthusiasm or bike handling skills get ahead of my fitness which is why I crashed. yes, all on my own, just going way too fast and not having the bike handling skills to manage my speed and the muddy pit that I was launched off of...
Oh, one last thing. While I was gone, my beloved Apple Powerbook's charger died which means I am using Ken's old laptop and can't get any pictures up on the blog or to send out to those lovely folks from TX who I had not seen in 20 years until last weekend.
