Life in Pictures

What have I been doing these past few weeks you ask? First things first, settling into unemployment (or employment-challenged depending on if you're a half-empty or half-full type of person). Second, getting in some QUALITY training.....watch out Australia:) Third, enjoying my family and friends even more than I usually do......

Brecken-windy.  Doesn't it look warm???  Anita and I have discovered the key to keeping our toes warm depends on if there are pickles at the Bloody Mary bar.  Seriously.

Charlotte on her first day on skis:  she's a natural!!

Uber-bowler Steph.  I have no idea how to flip the picture around.

I may look tough, but I am the worst bowler I know.  Other than my husband.

Comments
Very tired after Monday Masters but to be expected after swimming ~11k in 24 hours. Runs felt great although it was difficult to bring my heart rate down after faster effort on second run. Was very sore (obliques) from core class, clearly need to be changing ab routine up more often. Legs were more tired than I expected on bike Saturday, but legs felt great Sunday for skiing.
