Seattle Bits

In Seattle visiting family. My cousins' neighborhood is lovely- so many flowers and sidewalk vegetable gardens. I took a long walk after dinner with my cousin C, and guessed at blossom names and took pictures of as many as I could before dark.

My Hair. In Braid Form.

Blog posts of braided hair are pretty darn cliche. But I was so psyched about my up-do that I just had to do it. So sorry readers.



My sister is the Braid Wizardess by the way. She rocks.

In The Water

My First Tri

I woke up to a stormy morning on the lake, watching waves on the water. I had done many glassy-top practices but had no experience with windy water. And unfortunately, the actual swimming was more terrifying than I originally expected. Every time I lifted my head to take a breath, a new wave would swallow my face, leaving me gasping. As a result, the first quarter mile was reached only through sloppy side stroke and doggy paddle.  No worries though- I did complete the swim leg, and the bike and run thereafter. For my very first tri, I was super happy. And I was lucky enough to have a bunch of family and friends cheering me on.

Fancy Pants

We had a fancy family birthday celebration at a fancy B & B on the lake. We wore fancy pants. And suit jackets.
