Finally!

Alas, 3 years of torture in the bellows of higher education culminated at graduation last weekend. My family and friends made it a memorable time, and I couldn't be happier to finally earn the "doctor" title! Only 3 more months in the clinic, then my diploma will be officially posted in August.

Back in town

Chris, my wonderful husband and favorite training partner is back in town for the week leading up to my graduation. Despite being brutally tired, we've attacked the last two days with reckless abandon, forging through icky weather and racking up sore legs with lots of miles out on the trails.Yesterday we spent the better part of the afternoon cruising 3-Sisters with teammate Javier, and with frozen cold hands and feet.Snow in May? You bet, in Colorado!Today was a nice reprieve from the Arctic, and a quick jaunt up Mt. Falcon in short sleeves!
