The best advice my triathlon coach ever gave me was - don't get lost in the training, make time for some fun along the way too. I took that advice to heart and looked around for some 'fun' things to do. I didn't have to look very far...
My favorite nail salon, ten20, also has a women's cycling team. I'd seen their kits around town for years and always drooled over their super cute designs. This year I got it together in time to join at the beginning of their season and snag a sweet ride set up. Gear and clothes do make you feel like super woman! Meeting all the girls during a team night night event at Oak was a blast. Jessica Johnson, a bike buddy whom I met in Italy on a cycling vacation, and Connie Solowiej, a long time friend from our boys' grade school days, are both ten20 riders. I can't wait for it to stop snowing so I can get out on the road and go for a very pink ride with the girls:)
My Kaia girls also ramped up the fun-o-meter this past weekend when we ran the Diva Dash 5K Obstacle Course. Decked out in pink tutus and pink Kaia tanks we ran, climbed, scampered, and crawled our way over, under, and thru a surprising number of obstacles. Sponsored by Shape magazine, the Diva Dash is a national event and Kaia Boulder had a great first year showing with 12 girls participating. The goal for next year is 40 girls! Of course having my daughter, Berkeley, by my side made it an extra special fun day.
My running partner, Angela Hypio, has made the ever mounting miles fly by. Somehow we manage to talk non-stop for the duration of the runs and still have enough gas to crunch out an ab workout at the end! We're looking at 12 miles this week - who knows what world issues we'll solve, recipes we'll share, or wedding plans we'll discuss!
