AS PROMISED...

Here is a picture of my lil' sis's kid...welcome to the world (and this awesome blog) Maeven. 

Congrats Lou and E!

She comes from good stock...of course she is cute.

BACK IN THE SADDLE

Yesterday was my first day back at training...and I could tell.

My legs were sluggish and the ride took more out of me than it should have.  It was also my first official ride (although I'm not sure if you could call 10 miles an "official" ride) with the new shoes and clipless pedals.  Unfortunately , my left foot got really sore around the 2 mile mark and by mile 8 it was throbbing.  I decided to cut the ride short and head to the bike shop for some adjustments.

Hopefully the adjustments to the cleat and the bike will take care of the problem.  

GETTING BETTER

I finally went to the doctor yesterday and was informed that I am the proud new owner of a sinus infection.  But don't you worry, they gave me some magic pills and I'm on the road to recovery. 

Training will resume this evening.

HELLO WORLD

Welcome Maven Marie.

Mom (my sister) and baby are healthy and doing good. Pics to come.

STILL SICKISH

Training is still on hold.  During the past week I have taken a slew of over-the-counter cold medicine and tried some old-school remedies, some have helped and others not so much.  Since I can't afford to take another week off of training I'm giving myself until Sunday to feel substantially better.  If I don't, I'll head to the doctor.

Keep your fingers crossed that I'll be in tip-top health by Monday morning...and that my legs remember how to run.

TORNADO PARTY AT WORK

SICK

You read it right...yours truly is sick. 

Training is postponed until I can breathe normally.
