Catching some fresh air.

This weekend was Russ's birhday. I decided that for a birthday present I should take him skydiving. Now.. knowing 1) I am afraid of heights 2) I get motion sick really quick 3) I am peferctly same, I decided it was the perfect present. Here are some pictures. I would like to point out that even though I look really nervous in this picture and my heart was beating out of my chest and my legs were super shakey I had a smokin' good time. I reccommend this activity to anyone who does not have a heart condition. Come to Colorado for your birthday friends.. I will take you skydiving. or bike riding. or maybe we can just eat some cake.

Outdoor Colorado.

Sorry about the lack of updates.. Life has been very busy on two wheels and sleeping in a tent. I loooooove vacation.

Here is a picture from my pseudo-graduation in May. Where Sara and I rode our bikes after the ceremony.. her in a helmet me in a mortar board. Turns out it is a mortar board very safe helmet if you wreck your bike or bang your head against a wall if you don't fully pass a course. Here is the Marcia Mounsey Foundation cycling team.. we rode the Windmill Classic Century, rasing about $4,000 for the foundation. It was a super hot day but everyone finished with a smile and all of their fingers and toes. Overall.. very fun.
These picures are from the Bicycle Tour of Colorado. Micah joined up with Russell, Ryan and I and we rode about 403 miles through the towns in Southwestern Colorado. It was a super blast. Come to Colorado friends.. the cycling is nice, the water bottle water is warm and the wind is brutal. Families bond.

Here is one of the best snacks.. Nilla Wafers, with peanut butter and a banana with a preztle toothpick on top. Oh-So-Good.









Bicycle grave yard.

And this is a picture from this last weekend at the Triple Bipass.. 3 mountain passes, 125 miles, peanut butter you squeeze out of a packet, no crashes and one of the most fun Triples I have done so far. I rode with the Rocky Mountain Childrens Law firm team... these guys are super duper strong riders... the best part was... they had ice cream at the finish line. I ride 4 food. That is my new motto. It's gonna be big. During all of this fun I took the 4th of July weekend to do a little bushwacking.. aka backpacking in the San Juans. Thank God for the map and compass invention. Otherwise I would be wondering around the wilderness blowing my bear whistle and eating Roman Noodles.
Here is Sawtooth mountain. So much snow, so little time.

Booooo.

My toenails hurt.

In my new ploy to avoid homework, I flew to New Jersey last weekend and ran a marathon with my comadre Lisa. It was her first marathon, I am feel extremely honored to have run it with her. I love the finish line banner.

Mile 13
Mile 20


It was a great time. Geordie, Shannon, Christian (who also ran the marathon), Melinda, Liam, their daughters and Chris came out and cheered us along. We were able to stay at beach house O'Brian on the New Jersey shore. Who knew the New Jersey shore was such a beautiful place? I would definately vacation there. Here are some more photos of the event..

April Showers Brings May Flowers.

Well people it is snowey and rainy here in Colorado. Both literally and figuratively.

It has been super rainy and snowey here this week. The bummer part is that I have not been able to go skiing. or snowboarding. or outside for that matter. I have basically locked myself in my house with my books, tequila, and my calculator. I have decided that unless I super glue my butt at my desk, handcuff my hand to my book AND take all of the batteries out of my cell phone (all 1 of them :) my homework will not get done.

The May flowers of graduation cannot come soon enough.
