Hey Julie my blog is up again...can you not see it!?

 

Ladies and Gentlemen. I have some exciting news.

 

TADA!!! I bought a NEW BIKE with my STIMULUS CHEQUE!!!!! I am ONE happy Camper. My husband and I also reserved a smart car. We won't get it till next year however. Gosh what a day. Boy do I feel so much better. I opted out of my swim and run though as time just got too late. So I apologize for that. I WILL make it up on my days off so don't worry

 

Isn't she lovely. $1100 worth but I got her for a measly $800. I am overjoyed and anxious to ride her. She needs a name too!!!!! I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan so I was thinking of calling her something in relation to that. OH glee. Excuse me while I obnoxiously clap my hands over and over.

she's a beauty! woo hoo! I am clapping with you! YOU GO GIRL!!!! now it is time to go and conquer those hills! you will be amazed at how much easier it is...did you get two or three rings up front? I am hoping three rings...which will help you make some of those steeper and longer hills...but regardless...you are going to kick booty! I can not wait to hear all about your ride! and yes, I do see your blog now! hope you have a great day! will be around a lot more to chat...and thanks for stopping by my dds blog...she had more inspires then me! AND SHE WAS LOVING IT!!

 

She a 3 ringed baby. The guy that owns the store was SO helpful. I told him exactly what I wanted it for and BAM he produced this one. It's a mens 52cm so it's also like a ladies 54 in the fact the frame is smaller and shorter for my reach.  It's perfect. Needs a female saddle though but there is plenty of room up front if I ever decide to add aero bars.  I love her! MWAH!

Sorry for your loss, you and your family are in my prayers. Don't worry about the challenge, life happens, train to relieve some of the stress, but don't make it stressful.

My condolences too -- it's always rough to lose a family member, no matter how elderly, sick, or whatever.  Thoughts and prayers are headed to you and yours.

Very pretty!  Since I'm a pretty huge HP fan, thought that I would throw some of these out there:

 

Hedwig
Buckbeak
Fluffy
Lumos
Tonks
Patronus
Veela
Portus

Firebolt or Nimbus would be awesome.  In your blog, you could say stuff like, "Today, I took my firebolt out for a spin."

I do like Firebolt.  But I love Patronus...I saw a T Shirt on a guy once that said "Wanna see my patronus?"  LOL

Nice!  I think that one of my favorites are the "Dumbledore's Army" t-shirts.  I tend to get this ridiculous grin on my face when I see those.

I'm holding out for a Harry Potter bike jersey (I can dream, can't I?).

I have a Harry Potter Goblet of Fire T Shirt that I try and wear to all my races.

There's pictures of me wearing it in my album somewhere. I love it.

I found a couple on Ebay and Cafe Press.

I didn't even think about cafe press!  I'm headed there now.  More thoughts on my dream HP bike jersey:  somehow, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" definitely needs to printed on it somewhere...

hi guys,

I've just updated your spreadsheet and I'm afraid I've had to replace the old version with the new one (there was just too much copying and pasting involved otherwise, and it's been quite time consuming as it was).

here's the link:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pfYL7DR_dx-D9r11DHCFoYA&hl=en

So I'm very sorry if this has just broken the link in your oh-so-gorgeous (but not quite as cool as the internationals!! ) links table, but it has saved my sanity and probably also my marriage!

Please check the details and make sure all the times entered are correct (I did try to copy them across correctly!). The method of calculating the average has changed - it's now an average of each individual's average, rather than an average of each discipline's average. This is more balanced, because otherwise the strength average was counting for a quarter of the result.

Any questions, let me know!

cheers,
Gill

OHH I am soo sorry. Running seems to relieve so of the pent up emotions, but let yourself grieve too. I'll be thinking of you and your family.

Oh, and just in case it isn't obvious - you only enter your training in the boxes. All the other fields calculate automatically.

Nimbus or Firebolt?

Clearly the Nimbus 2000. My wife names her bikes too. I don't get it.
