Past, Present & Future

A friend of mine sent Marty and I this list:Top 10 list of "Things Marty can do to help prepare Bri for the next 5-7 yrs":10. Not answering Bri until she's yelled your name at least 5x before saying "what??? No, I didn't hear you!"9. Start randomly "wiping out" for no apparent reason. The more dramatic the wipe out, the more fun. Boys LOVE to dive bomb the ground at any chance they get.8. Use as much space as possible with everything you do. There...

We started off the weekend with a nice bike ride and open water swim at Jordan Lake. The humidity was low which led to great midsummer weather - a nice reprieve from what we had been dealing with and what's to come this week. Marty and several others met at Inside Out and rode out to Jordan Lake then rode back. I opted to drive to Jordan Lake, ride the reverse route until I ran into the group and turned around. I did a short swim and then drove home....

17 Weeks

I decided to take another picture of me and my growing belly. Here I am at 17 weeks. I don't typically prance around in an outfit like this - I was trying to wear something that would give you the best look. I've also found that taking your own picture leads to some pretty ridiculous looking faces, so I conveniently cut my head off in this one...

Beech Mountain 5K

Race Report time! Yeah, so I'm writing a race report for a 5K. Races are few and far between for me right now (or really, nonexistent) so let me have my fun. On a related note, I'm actually not that burned up about not racing this year. Probably because I've been racing literally since I was 8 years old with only a few short breaks for some minor injuries. Right now, there are more important things going on with me and racing is not something that's...
