Hooray for the Holidays!

What a woooooooooooooooonderful Christmas it has been! My favorite future Ironman got everything he needed for the big beast in August...

...and I made out like a lil' bandit, too. :)

A new purse (with super cool Nicole Ritchie-esque shades--nice pick, Leah!)...a heart rate monitor...Guitar Hero III...gift card for SWA (who knew they had 'em!?)...some $ for Nordstrom...Atlas Shrugged...just to name a few things! (Oh yeah, I got a small raise, too, which was a HUGE surprise since I just joined the team). And the icing on the cake, due to a massive sale on Mike's Forerunner 305 at Fleet Feet, we had enough cash to get me AEROBARS for my darlin' lil' bike!!! Sweet, huh?

Twas a great holiday indeed. Aside from the fact I ate about 25 pounds too many of sugar cookies.

Training has been at a standstill since...hmm...the last time I ran...which was...uhmmm...like thirty billion years ago? Although I blame the slacking the past three days on god's gift to mankind, also known as Guitar Hero III. I'm strongly considering foregoing my running career to become a professional GH3 player extraordinaire!!!!!!!!!! I am seriously THAT good people.

Real training does begin in another week or two. I'm hoping to hop on the treadmill or the trainer in the next day or so to help me get my rear into gear. Because in order to tackle this...


...I have to be all super athletic endurance triathlete rockstar chick. And at this juncture, I'm sitting pretty at...super rockstar couch riding, guitar hero III playing chick. And that doesn't cross any finish lines.

But yeah...that's the BIKE ELEVATION CHART. Kansas ain't flat, folks. I iz scuuuuuuuuured.

Sounds like you made a haul for Christmas. And if you love Guitar Hero? You'll love Rock Band -- even better!

I got to try my Nephews Guitar Hero last night. I have not played a video game in years, but that thing was a freaking blast. Have a great finish to the holiday season. Hills need Strength, Strength comes from Strength training......I am just saying. :)

I am a teeny bit jealous of your elevation chart. We must race together soon!

You need to send us your Miis! We're having so much fun with the Wii, it's a blast!

Maybe I'll get GH3 for Val Day or our Anniversary!
