Going West!!!

Well, it's almost time to leave the snow and cold weather for a while. I am so excited I can barely stand it. I DO hate leaving Scott and Naomi behind, but I'm sure there will be lots of TV watching and beer drinking while I am gone :-)

I'm flying to Phoenix tomorrow night and will return the following Saturday. I'll only miss one class, but of course there is an exam scheduled that day. Of course. My professor was very understanding though when I told him that I was going to Phoenix to work. And technically that's not a lie. I am going to be working very hard the entire time that I'm there. In fact, I will probably be sweating...hee hee!

I have no clue where we will be riding, but I do know that my coach wants me to ride A TON. I don't think that will be a problem at all :-) I also plan on getting some serious stretching done while I am out there. I'll be the first to admit that I fall off of the stretching bandwagon anytime I get busy. It's totally stupid since I'm prone to tight IT bands and hamstrings. Anyways, it was evident in yoga tonight that I have some serious work to do. We were working our hip flexors, and all of my muscles were so tight that I could barely move. I give myself a D- for performance tonight. The only reason why I didn't fail completely is that I do one heck of a child's pose!

Now I need to finish packing! Old habits die hard, and I keep finding myself packing as if I'm going to do a 24 hour race. Since I'm going to the desert, I can probably leave the lobster claws and balaclava at home, right???

I'll be sure to post lots of pictures while I am gone!
