Oh Goodness

It's been awhile.

The quick recap: March sucked, for the most part.

There were a couple good things, though.
1. My parents were here for a week. Love them. Had a great time.
2. I won TWO raffle prizes at a bachelor auction - a manicure/pedicure and a ski rental package, the latter of which came in very handy on my...

3. snowboarding trip to Telluride, which actually took place April 1-4 - a great way to put that craptastic March behind me.


Learning to snowboard is painful. Oh-so-very painful. But, once I got the hang of it, it was SO. MUCH. FUN. Can't wait to go again next year.

So I'm in the middle of training for a half Ironman. I don't think I've mentioned that yet. Training started at the beginning of February and my race is in early June. 1.2 mile swim / 56 mile ride / 13.1 mile run. The training schedule is unreal. Thursday is our first open water swim of the season, which I'm actually looking forward to. You know, now that I can swim. :)
