A week of adventures

This week has flown by...

Since I moved up to expert this year, I decided I should probably train this winter. Of course this would be the winter that it is really cold and wet. I can't remember what it feels like to ride in shorts and jersey, and every weekend keeps getting colder and wetter.

Last Saturday Reid and I rode the wbl. It was not one of the epic rides so I thought I had a chance to finish. I don't know what I was thinking. About three and half hours in my legs started cramping. Then I realized all I had eaten was an airhead-no pun intended. So I scarfed down a milky way as soon as I remembered I should eat, but it was too late. Reid had to push me up all the hills for the last 20 miles.

On a different note, my dog Flash disappeared the other day. Lola (our other dog) and Flash escaped from our backyard, and went on an adventure through our neighborhood. I got a phone call at work from a neighbor saying she had Lola but couldn't get the "black one". I drove around looking for Flash for a couple hours and had no luck. It isn't like Flash to run away. She doesn't like to be outside that much and always is beside our side. When Reid came home from school he drove around for 2-3 hours with no luck. I was so upset Flash was gone. We had yoga that night and I had hopes that it would calm me down, but all I could think of was my Flash. On my way home I told myself that this happens to a lot of people, dogs run away and I just have to deal with it. When I met Reid at home he carried out Flash like a prize, she had been waiting at our back door for us. She was very disoriented, like she had been on a long adventure. She ate two bowls of food, drank a giant bowl of water, and went to bed. I am so grateful she came home!
