Here I go again!

Happy new year everyone!

I started this blog in 2009 to follow my old blog (argentinerocket.fastrunningblog.com) from 2008, because I wanted the triathlete format.

Can you think of a better way to start the new year than biking 30 miles along the Skyline Drive, in Shenandoah National Park? I can't! It was a VERY cold but very clear day. A bunch of my friends and I rented a cabin near Shenandoah to spend a few days relaxing and have a nice New Year's eve party. Today they went horseback riding but Will and I wanted to exercise so we went on a nice bikeride. It was so cold I was worried my toes were going to freeze! Thankfully we made it back safe. Here's a picture of the first day of the best year of my life!

Another gorgeous day in Shenandoah. My cabin roommates went to three wineries to get wine tastings and tours, and Will and I went hiking and biking. Will used to be a fast runner but he's been dealing with plantar fasciitis issues and hasn't run in the past couple of years - he may be getting a sort of surgery to fix it, but until then he's a very talented biker and can do some hiking without pain.  

Yeah, no running... lazy... I know...

Hiked 7 miles on yet ANOTHER absolutely beautiful day in Shenandoah, before heading back to DC and facing the real world... The past few days were so great, surrounded by lots of fun friends doing lots of eating and playing games. Too much fun!
