My cat loves laundry day. She spends the day on the hot water heater, and then heads to the clean laundry.

After a rest week, I'm ready to put in a few more weeks of good training. Now, I just have to find the time to do so! Thursday afternoon I have to give a 30 minute seminar on a published, scientific journal article, which is pretty much my worst nightmare. Public speaking is not my forte. Mom asked what will be contained in the flask I'll carry in my purse. Ha!

I will be heading to Salt Lake City to visit Rusty and Deborah for part of my Spring Break. I wlll have to take the new, unused snowshoes Ted got me for Christmas, as the weather in Pullman has been far too nice for snow sports. Not that I am complaining... but, in a way I am.

And, now, on to watching the rest of The Dark Knight.

Which car looks faster?

Which F1 car looks faster? Ted and I have opposing opinions. Based on comments on this blog, loser buys the other a drink. So, which car looks faster - Ferrari (red) or McLaren (silver)?

Starting Up the Ol' Blog Again

I kind of miss updating my blog regularly, so perhaps it's time to start it up again. Afterall, I'm in my final semester of grad school, the racing season will soon be starting up again, and well, surely there must be some things to write about.

January in Pullman has been awesome this year, which, I have to say, I needed after the last two Winters from hell. Trainer rides in January 2010? Zero. Enough said. And, knock on wood, my back has been relatively happy, so I may actually be able to train and race for this season. I hope so!

I am definitely approaching the point when I will be ready to be done with school. Three more full months of classes and research, and then I will be nearly done. After that? A move to Spokane will happen soon after the semester ends. After my time in Pullman, I am definitely ready for a change. With Ted living/working in Spokane during the week, I am only more anxious to finish up.

Hitcher and I walk together nearly daily. For one year, I want to see how many miles the two of us walk together, so we will be carrying the GPS with us on all of our daily walks. So, until January 23, 2011, how many miles will the hound and I walk? Maybe I should have a contest with the nearest guess winning a small prize.

I am really craving a post-dinner dessert, but alas, there is nothing in the house. Must keep the goal in mind: get to race weight by the season!
