Sometimes Monday morning you just need to laugh

I can't get enough of these videos:

 Shit Cyclists Say

Sammy signing "Baby Got Back"

Shit teachers say

Shit runners say



Happy Monday!!!

The best Christmas gift I got was.....

How's that for a teaser? Any guesses?????

Here are a few things that would have been great gifts....but sadly, I did not get.

Who wouldn't want this? No more groping for TP at night!

Duh! Cookie bowl for the ice cream sundae I'm supposed to stay away from anyway? Genius!

I do LOVE Dexter. Perhaps some blood coasters.....

LOVE the edge of a brownie. This pan was MADE for me!

Sam made me a Pain Cave. Yep. Pain.Cave. A place where we can go and workout (bike, run, weights) and not worry about weather, time of day, or babysitters. I LOVE it.

It does have a TV in it now with a DVD player. The space heater is great, but we haven't even really needed it. I've logged some serious miles in there already! The boys even have small chairs they put in there and they will talk to me, cheer, and watch a movie with me. Yeah for Sam!

What does 2012 look like?

So far 2012 has been great. I'm really hoping to keep that up - it just feels so fresh at the beginning of the year.

The family and I have TONS going on this year. Let's take it month by month:

January: Sammy turns 5!!!!!

February: Sam turns 33!

March: Sam and I run the 1/2 Marathon (sam's 1st!)

March: My sister gets married in St. Lucia. Jealous?

April: 1st tri of the season and Cherry Blossom 10 miler

 April: Mason turns 4!

May: 1st Mcdonnell Lake swim

June: Sam does the I love this Tavern Tri in Richmond

July: Redeem myself at Colonial Beach sprint tri

August: Off! That's right, nothing on the books :)

September: ending the season together in Reston for the perfect 10

Now, we are done in September. We no longer pretend that the cold training, water, and runs don't bother us. We are cold weather wimps. Whew, that felt good to say.

Here's to 2012. Staying healthy, getting fit, and having fun!
