Back With a Capital Vengence!

Baby hike.

Memory Grove RUNNING! 

Getting absolutely psyched for Europe trip! T-minus 6 days!

The current agenda: wine drinking bike tour in Paris, hiking from Chamonix, France to Courmayeur, Italy, biking through Barolo wine country, hiking in the Liguria cliffs and then sunning it up in the Italian Riveria.

I believe this trip is going to propel me into some sort of greatness. Well at least propel my body into some real running action.

4 hours of sleep + copious amounts of coffee = fastest Emigration climb yet. Took 1.5 minutes off my fastest bike - yay!

 “This is how fairy tales would go if the patriarchy hadn’t rewritten them: Eastern girl gets fed up with the city and moves west, finds the right guy(s) … pretty soon she’s skiing, climbing and biking her brains out, pretty soon she’s better than he is at most of it.”

Sad to say that I bailed on my big ride this morning, but I knew it was the right thing to do. Having insomnia and weird migrainous issues so I didn't really want to overstress the bod right before the big trip. Went to the Farmer's Market, yoga, and got a massage instead.
