Take your bad vibes with you

Today was the day. Today was do-all-three-sports-of-the-triath training day. I hated every second of the bike, which constituted just 20 minutes of the time. The outlook: not so great. In any actual race, the biking will be at least twice that long.

Regardless, to celebrate, I went to Emily (who broke her hand yesterday and still ran/swam/biked with me) and Rachel and Sarah's house. And later I ate a gigantic bowl of Grape Nuts and Kashi. Then it occurred to me that just a month ago my fam and I were in Rome. I love them. I loved Rome.

Will and I in an orange orchard/churchyard near our hotel.


Roman ruins.


Me and baba during Christmas decor day.


It has me thinking about my summer travel dreams:
Turkey
Japan
New Zealand

We'll see what actually happens.

Stayc - I know he is! It's ridiculous. I don't know about LJ. Maybe I'll give her her own post.

Ang - Wisco Dells are in my heart. I'm ready. In fact, some of my co-workers were extolling their goodness.

Brady - How's the wedding prep?? Are you still running mucho? My mini-tri is in May...but I have no bike.

Andy - at least, I think this is Andy...I'm so glad I have a friend in Japan! I feel like it makes me more awesome by association.
