oh la la --thats the new bike!!!!

Hi Everyone!

I hope this post finds you all well, healthy, and happy!!! I'm a bit anxious right now because I start my internship tomorrow, but I'm oh so excited at the same time. I think being back into a routine where I have a fixed schedule will be sooo good for me. After my year and a half hiatus of working different times different days, having classes that met all across the board, and substituting, in the mix with lots of days off--I can't wait :) Wish me luck!

Here are my adorable nephews, I miss so much already! Since being back in Colorado I feel like the time has flown and also i haven't gotten much done. I've been out on my mtn. bike a few times but mostly bike paths to the park for the dog and a fire road leading up the res. to take the dog swimming. It is okay though- I'm just getting used the feel, which is significantly different from my road bike.

lets see.. after throwing quite a few temper tantrums about my training I've starting to rethink the entire marathon thin g. I really really want to run a marathon and with the way that my breathing has adjusted and the way my legs feel- I know I can do that. However, my feet still do not seem to want to cooperate, which is extremely frustrating. Not to mention I've been working on increasing my run time--running faster and as the miles build for my marathon I find myself running more endurance and slower..i get erked! so, as of now I'm still training but my running is down to three days a week due to this obnoxious ache/pain while running in my right foot (yes folks that is the one that was injury free--blah)... we'll just have to see how it goes. In the mean time though, I hopefully will get to spend time on my bikes and lifting.

I think that is all I really need to get the pooch to the park to play some frisbee and then need to get myself to the gym to workout and them home to organize for the job that i start tomorrow :)

Oh recommendations: I am tired of my same old songs on my ipod and now that i have itunes going i'm up for any good songs to run to!! Any--suggestions?

I will be sending out pictures of our "child" soon! haha, I never thought i'd be "one of those" that treated their dog like a child but truly he is!

Have a great week :)
