Where does the time go? I've found it really hard lately to set aside some time to update you all on my comings and goings. Sorry about that, and I hope I still have some interested readers (as much as you were ever "interested")!

First things first: my thanks and highest praise to Wes and Dee Dee for being such awesome hosts and forcing me to walk out on my check at their place. It's not all the time that you get to hang out with great people, stuff your face with hot wings and cold barley sodas, and then be not allowed to pick up your own tab. Thanks guys, you are the best! And Dee Dee: Lisa says hello (from the pic I texted to her).

Things are going pretty well for the fam. The weather certainly is looking better most days, which makes training better. I'm still getting to bed earlier, which is nice. The time change screwed that up, especially since I had drill and had to get up super early (for a Sunday morning, anyway)! I had really hoped to get a nice run in on Saturday, but the weather was like something out of some crazy Northern state! It snowed all morning...yes, in Atlanta...in MARCH! The wind was going at about 12-17 mph, and the temps never really got above 38. I could have ran, but wasn't prepared for those temps and conditions, clothing-wise. So, I did weights and floated in the pool. Much better option! Remember, running is the devil.

I was so glad to be able to get home (averaging 80-85 mph) from Atlanta in time to ride with Mendy and our friend Denine. It was a nice ride day with almost perfect conditions. Mendy did so well, and has come such a long way in a such a short time (considering how little she even rides), and 2 laps was nothing to her. Way to go, Mendy!

And way to go, Lisa, Karen, and Taryn for the awesome 13.1! You guys rocked it AND had fun. What's better than that? And of course to Jess for kicking some booty on the 4 miler. Way to go, speedy!

Today's brick will be the 11th straight day of training, even though Friday and Saturday weren't really hard-core training days. My shoulders are still feeling them, though, especially after the swim session yesterday. I did a nice 500yd, then 5x100yd sprints on 2:30 intervals. Tomorrow will be another swim, with a low-key run on Thursday, then Friday is rest. I'm looking forward to the rest day, for sure!

Well, I'll close out for now. I do have some more things to share, but I'll put them up later. I've been thinking about all of you guys, even if I haven't been blogging or commenting like I should. Take care, and happy Tuesday!

**UPDATE**
Crap, I missed another blog homie with a great race! Way to go with the HUGE PR, Michelle! That's a huge improvement!!
