Renee,
Sounds like an agressive schedule for the winter. I would like to drop 10 pounds this winter and start off lean for the spring. I could definitley meet up with you for the Big Ring Classic, but by the time the race is done I'm just getting warmed up

I started commuting to work this week to work on my "sprinting". It's 4 miles each way which is nothing, but it's usually so windy here in the afternoon that it gives me a mini workout. Yesterday it was into a 20 mph headwind!

I need to get a trainer for the winter, then I'm thinking I may have to start running along with my pilates and Power 90 workout. Lifting weights bulks me up too much, I'm trying to keep my muscles leaner. We'll have to keep touching base throughout the winter to keep tabs on our training - that would be good motivation for me!

Turning 30, huh? You pup. I'm 38 so I expect you would whoop my butt in a sprint. What do you for work in Madison? I hope hubby cooks for you sometime - there has to be some benefit to marrying a chef!
