BUSY!

This weekend was SUPER busy. Between dog sitting, workouts, working, friends, packing for my race this weekend, father's day and playing with Cody I almost didn't make it out alive! WOOHEE

On Sunday I woke up bright and early to meet my friends Marc and Brian for a run at Pinnacle Peak (I missed my picture op here). The run ends on the backside of Pinnacle Peak which we normally run, but today since Marc and I are tapering we walked the last 2 miles. I talked the guys into an open water swim at Bartlett Lake after the run, but Marc was having doubts about going since he was tired. I promised him a frosty drink from the gas station before we headed to the lake. Once we got to the gas station he stood by the frosty machine for a solid 5 minutes drinking and refilling his cup! The clerk thought he was crazy :-)

At the lake we had a nice swim.... Below is a picture of us post swim. I am wearing the shirt I ran in and got called out for sniffing it to see just how nasty it was, but I forgot a clean sports bra, so you do what you gotta do.

After the swim I hurried back home, showered and got into my dad's truck that he let me drive when I crashed my car back in March. The paint on the hood of the truck needed to be repainted so its been in the shop and was finally finished on Friday. So I promised my dad I would drive it back up to Flagstaff where it belongs, but I was running over an hour late - OOPS! I drove the 2hr drive up North, parked it at the airport where my dad picked my up in his plane and we flew back down to the valley.

He wanted me to get up north earlier because it gets windy in the afternoon. As we were flying home he told me I may need to hold on to my seat because its going to be a bumpy one! Fortunately I don't have a weak stomach when it comes to stuff like that. Here is a shot of Sedona - pretty, eh?

Once we got back into town we had plans with my brother to go see The Hangover and dinner (sushi). The movie was hilarious!!!

I was checking in on IMCDA friends throughout the day!!! Everyone ROCKED IT!!!! I am very impressed and thrilled for everyone :-)

Early Thursday morning I am leaving for Texas. I am meeting up with my friend Jim who raced IM New Zealand with me. We are racing Buffalo Springs 70.3 and I am already getting nervous - especially after seeing how awesome everyone did in CDA!!!

Jim already warned me that I can't make fun of him for the atrocious amount of Hammer products he packed!
