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!!!

I'm currently in the Mile High City and getting as many red blood cells as I possibly can, before I return to Jax on Fri night. I am attending the American Dietetic Association Adult Weight Management certification course which is a valuable certification in my future field of dietetics. It is only the first day and my mind is soaked with information and I'm trying to process it all.

Unfortunately, this course will not provide me with tips and advice for all you multisport athletes out there.

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...
