Night on the town!

March 31, 2011

First off, thank you all for your comments regarding a running journal!  I haven’t decided if I’m going virtual or old fashioned.  I’ll keep you all updated on what I find out works best for me!

March 28, 2011

After my 22 miler with my fabulous running club, I ran a special errand.  Instead of going home first, I decided to stop by Landry’s and pick up my new baby, my Specialized Dolce Elite!

This past Friday night I went to my fitting.  I wanted to laugh so hard when Aaron (the man helping me with my bike purchase and fitting) had me lay on the table and I had to pelvic thrust three … [Continue reading]
