I got a great Xmas gift already- I've been sick all fall, nagging sinus infection, SO frustrating... Sick sick after every ride or workout... We figured out the problem! Acid reflux causes chronic sinusitis! I got a big scrip for antacid stuff, I'm getting well and back in the gym, HOORAY! I got cleared to start riding Xmas day. Cyclocross bike in a cold muddy sugar cane field that afternoon. Too fat and weak to do it justice, but I've waited three years! Ride 'till I puke, even if it only takes five minutes. Best of all, my favorite jerseys fit again. Well dressed and puking , that's the life.
And my knees have quit hurting. Next summer, everybody can eat my dust!
Sadly, I'm pretty well set for toys and there's nothing to drool over. Maybe a Jeep Rubicon to get to the middle of nowhere trails.

Merry Christmas girls!
