What I’m Up To: Miracles Can Happen
Miracles can happen at any moment, when we least expect it. It's important just to be open to them and they will happen, and the best part is you'll be more aware and you'll experience more and more miracles. Sunday headed out for my 6 hour tempo ride I'm headed over to that other gym to meet up with a group and low and behold there's a white male deer. He must have had 8 points on his antlers.

I’m a Survivor
That's an interesting date isn't it? I'm TIRED, I'm frazzled, I'm busy, I'm a survivor.

What I’m Up To: Offroad Riding!
Hey, what a week of awesome off road training! Days like these are why I love riding mountain bikes!
