Cowabunga Dude

I'd like to shout out to my dear friends Troy and Jen in Tuscon whom I just found out are the proud parents of Lydia Christine. I am so happy for you guys- what amazingly cool parents you'll be!

So while everyone else is doing adult things like having babies....here's what completely childish thing I did today (Mom, Dad: cover your eyes)
WeeeeEEEEeee!!!!!

The pictures don't do that hill any justice- it is a LOT steeper than it looks. Besides, I'm usually terrified of hills. But B was at the bottom goading me, so I took a deep breath, pulled out the pixie dust, and FLEW!

I've been doing a lot of biking these last few days since my ankle has been super sore- I'm afraid to write the words, but I'm thinking it might be this .

What is with all the injuries lately? By the way, Caligula thinks my problem last week was Compartment Syndrome (what a dumb name) rather than a shin splint...but now my problem is Hurts Like Hell Ankle Syndrome. I really need this to go away soon since my training with Pfit starts in less than two weeks. What a bad way to start. So, again I become friendly with the bag of frozen peas. I hate those stupid peas.

Well, I guess I'm healed! I did an easy 3 miler and had no shinny problems. Weird. Maybe it was not a shin splint, but something else. The pain was so bad, I could barely walk just a few days ago. Maybe it's a tumor?

So posts may be few and far between for the next week or so since I'm moving, but I'll be sure to pop in every once in a while to say "hey"- by the way, where's the comment love, people?! Mom?

So, the real test of shin begins in 30 minutes, where I get to kick some serious buttocks with my kickboxing homies. Hope he goes easy on us tonight....
