Hello friends,

I have the best friends in the entire world. I know you might think you do, but, no, it's me for sure! Here's why. We celebrated my friend Marge's birthday Friday night and yesterday and what does she do? Brings me an Iron Queen tank top in RED (yes, my favorite color and the one I wear to race) from a recent pilates conference she attended! I've attached a picture because you will get used to seeing it a lot this summer...She and my BFF Crystal put their heads together and got it for me because they knew I would love it and they support my Ironman-Kona pursuit at every step. Crystal is even going to Cambridge, MD with me in June for my first qualifying race of this season!

As I wrote yesterday, I took Chrissie out for a ride today and we had a blast! It was warm, albeit a bit windy, but we didn't mind. Just soooooo great being outside instead of on the trainer in the basement watching a Spinnervals video. Don't get me wrong, Coach Troy! (Troy Jacobsen, official Ironman coach and producer of Spinnervals training videos...perhaps the best for training) Just can't beat being outside in the fresh air with the other million peeps doing the same! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mile-High-Multisport/158876137463408

Check out my daily/weekly workouts on this very site under Log if you want to see what and how I am doing...I am at approx. 13 hours per week and building, getting ready for Bike Camp in Las Vegas with Mile High Multisport (my coaches team) http://www.milehighmultisport.com/, http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mile-High-Multisport/158876137463408

at the end of March. BRING IT ON!!!! Can't wait to get into some HOT weather!!! We will spend a week at a rented house in Henderson, swimming, biking and running for some fantastic early season training...there will be really strong athletes there, so I will have to bring my skills at a high level, but I am feeling strong! WATCH OUT!!!

Oh, also signed up for "Movement U" next Saturday...check it out as it sounds really cool! http://www.gojessi.com/movementu/ If she can help me move better, I'm all for it!!! I will let you know how it goes and what it's like...it's a whole day in Broomfield and I'm excited to see what she does with us.

Well, that's it for this week. Remember: Success is not owned. It is rented, and the rent is due every day. :-)
