I swear to GOD I am not pregnant!! Ick!

I, Jill, promise I will never run a long run the day before a long ride again and slow everyone down. Those last 10 miles SUCKED - everything on my body hurt. I think the water cells in my body were shrunk by 8000%, I was thirsty all day upon my return and my weight was WAY down this morning(despite the pregnant look in the pic!).

Ok, done whining!

Was great to ride with you again, you always make me laugh :). Let's now add frozen yogurt to our M&M party. Which, btw, let's get a date on the calendar. I am kinda open most evenings :).

You rock (and your pictures rock too--you do photos the best). Love the 0 fireworks witnessed. I only saw some because they were set off close to my house. My son had a tantrum, so he and the rest of us lost the privilege of going. No regrets!

Looks like some great fun! Great pics-such awesome scenery-I'd be out biking every day there!
I have buoys in my lake too-perfect length of 1/4 mile from end to end of the swimming area! Easy to keep track!
