Catching Up?

I just recently read Miles's blog. I took a good look at his new ride. I have to ask, I guess because I am not in the know how. But why a single speed? Is it about the challenge? It is a fun looking bike, but I would like to know why people buy them.

I have been so excited to ride my new mountain bike. So you would think that as a stay at home mom that I would have plenty of time to ride, but I have not had any time to ride. I have been so busy with soccer and other things. I guess I did make a couple of big batches of salsa, and froze a ton of corn.

Now that the goal of finishing LOTOJA is done I need to decide what is next. I have alot of thoughts. Marathon? LOTOJA? LOTOJA relay? Wasatch Back? STP? Washington, Oregon Coast Ride? Triatholon? Trail Running Series? All of them??????
After my tennis class on Weds. I have been taking a swimming lesson. I tell you, swimming is a struggle for me! I panic with my face in the water. But I do have to say that I have improved from the 1st time to the 2nd time. I hope that I keep improving and becoming more comfortable in the water.

I am still contemplating a trail run in Ogden on Sat. I really am not up to par for running 7 miles. But I figure that I can endure it and give it my best.

I drove to Pleasant View on Mon. morning. The drive up Sardine canyon was really beautiful! I hope that the drive next week will be as beautiful. Arie is worrying that is almost Halloween because that means time for the flu shot. It is interesting to me that she remembers that the shot always happens around Halloween.

I had the opportunity to attend my cousins funeral on Tues. It gave me a chance to think about how thankful I am for my family, friends, other blessings in my life and the gospel.
