The Cutest Pics EVER

I might be a little biased, but I can't stop smiling at the pics that Karel took while I was away in Denver. By the way, it's GREAT to be home!!!

As most of you know, from reading my blog, I love educating others

As for me, I joined the beach ride once again and sure did suffer out there. I just couldn't stay on a wheel. The wind was blowing crazy hard and with the cooler temps (around 60-65 degrees while we were riding) I was having a hard time finding my rhythm. But, as usual, I love being on my bike, I love being outdoors, I love suffering and I love staying active. After the ride I decided to go for a run. My first brick after IMKY but it didn't really fe
