I start law school in the fall. 

 After a long decision process, we decided to stay here at BYU for law school.  Ultimately, we want to head back to the Northwest, where we both grew up.  For the time being, we will remain here.

ScotinSeattle - 2007-05-29 11:14 AM Hello everyone! Did everyone have a nice weekend!????? I got loads of cycling in. Was fanastic because it never rained once! WOHOO! Saturday I cycled to a Brewery with some British and American friends. We had lunch (and a beer..hehe) did a small tour of the brewery afterwards then cycled back to our cars. Total blast! Can't wait to do it again. Got my times from my last Tri as well as pictures (God I look AWFUL!) Biked again yesterday. It's going to be HOT here this week so I might even get into the lake. Tonight I have to bike home from work as the brakes went out on my truck this weekend - they are now repaired thanks to hubby - so I had my bosses Jeep all weekend and brought it and my bike back this morning. Should be a lovely ride home as it's going to be 80 and because I noticed this morning that the bike lanes had all gotten a lovely new paint job. What did everyone else get up to?

So was it the old Ranier Brewery?  Which one did you end up at?

 As for me, Saturday was an awesome hike with my wife, Sunday was a Korean memorial day feast complete with karaoke (half of my in-laws are Korean), and Monday was a full day of work .  It was an enjoyable weekend for the most part though.

I grew up about 10 minutes away from Woodinville in Snohomish.  I know exactly where you were.  That's such an awesome place for a ride!

That's great Mike!  You'll do great.  From your logs, it looks like you're ready to compete in a tri.  You better be careful though, competing may cause an addiction to racing these things!

Hi guys,

Sorry I've been out of synch.  I'm in New York all week on business and it's REALLY messed up my training schedule.  The only time I'm really free to exercise is mid-afternoon & it's hot as blazes, so I come up with excuses.  There's no gym in my hotel.  (If I ever forget that I work for the government, I get the painful reminder when I see where they make me stay when I travel!)  I can't wait to get back into my training routines at home.  I miss the kids and hubby, too, but at least I talk to them on the phone each night.  Imagine how lonely my bike is right now!  (I know, I'm a sick person.)  Will try to touch base again soon.  Congrats Mike on taking the plunge!  You'll LOVE it!!  I'm struggling with whether or not to attempt a half iron this year.  I told my husband I'm afraid it would be the equivalent of taking on a heroine habit, though, because I know it could take over my life.  That's the big thing stopping me right now.  My kids are going to need enough therapy just from having me as a Mom, adding a longer distance event might only extend their time on the couch!  Like Lynne, I also upgraded my membership just to download the half iron training program to see if I could do it.  This week hasn't helped that plan, though.

You know, as much running as I have done, you would think that I would have competed in a marathon road race by now.  I'm really hoping that this September is the year to do it.  I'm not entirely certain that I will be able to do it, because I'll be 3 weeks deep in my first year of law school, but we'll see how things go!  I'm definitely going to train for it. 

I hope everyone had a great month of training in May.  Anyone have any exciting goals for June?

As for me, I hope to build my long run distance up to 16 miles, not reaggravate my calf, and run the Cascade Saddle (a pretty difficult climb that the wife and I hiked last week and will hike this Saturday to do one fine "recon" hike before attempting to run it)
