STP 2012

STP was a lot of fun this year. We rode a little slower and stayed together most of the ride which was fun. I've got some friend photos, an action photo, and one that looks like I'm sweating a lot but I just rode through a mister. I couldn't load the picture with my sister, sorry Tara.

Ironman Boise 70.3 was pretty though with the bad weather. 40 mph winds, 50 degrees and raining. pretty happy with my times though.

we're all really going to miss you Taxi. Best dog ever!

I've seen some pictures of peoples feet while ironman training and I'd have to say mine are still holding up and don't look nearly as gross.

Took Pistol up Mt Si. We had a good time.

June 9th is so far away but I get butterflies in my stomach everyday I think about it.

Free STP pictures

Didn't know the camera was there on this last one until they got this.

STP

Thanks to you guys for coming out and being part of the my annual B-day ride. This years ride was a little longer
Here is Derek and Tara behind in the sweet 80's jersey. I tried to get you both but was busy riding.



Time for food, refills and chillin.

Half way point, Centralia. Beer, Pretzels, pizza, burritos, creamsicles.


Waiting to get on the bridge to Oregon. had to be escorted across in between waves of traffic.

Tara at the finish looking pretty happy.


Tara stayed in Portland so Cory, Derek and I ate food and rode our bikes around town and did some sight seeing.

So my 75 mile ride turned into over 80 for sure because I did a half ass job writing my directions down. There were several u turns but I made it home with more energy than I thought I would. Come on Tara, SF to SC.

Mount Si

Went on a great hike with Pistol today. Over 4,000 ft with tons of snow at the top. the guide book said it would take 4-7 hours and I did it in 2:45 and hung out at the top for a while. Sliding on the snow while coming down was maybe the really fun part.

One more

All right, I'll stop putting these up unless its a really great ride.

lower lake loop

Another great ride. Soon I'll do the whole lake.

First bike ride

Mercer Island 10K

Don't make fun of my leggings. It was sunny but also cold. Good run. Why do I always look pasty white?

A beautiful day in the neighborhood

I don't need to say anything.

CIM

Even though I always look dead when I'm riding my bike or running I do have fun. My knee had to be wrapped and because of that I didn't come close to running the whole thing I suppose I did okay for my first marathon. I'll do better next time and hopefully my knee issues will go away. I finished in 4:18:35 and next time in under 4 hours I hope. Good job Tara and especially Cory and thank you Rachel for running with me the last few miles. Who's your friend Tara?

Twin Falls

woke up this morning and wanted to go for a walk. Twin Falls is not even a half hour from us. And Pistol had fun. Next time I'll take Alicia.

P90X done!

So I finished and I'm very happy with the results, they may not be super big changes but I can really see them and feel them which is what counts. I guess its not really over since next week I will start a new routine that I have put together for myself. I am going to do 4 days a week of workouts from p90x instead of 6 and the other days I will have runs and bike rides so that I can progress in those sports or hobbies of mine. I think I will continue to get in better shape as long as I can stick to a good routine and not get to bored of it.

urn

My friend Amanda made an urn for dads ashes. I didn't ask for it, Alicia and her just did it for me.

Tuesday

I'm at home sick with two dogs. I'm bored and there is nothing wrong with this.
