Hockey, Triathlons, Seattle...Oh MY!

Well folks, time for another list...I've been away too long, so I'll just recap what has been going on for the past few weeks...

• I'm playing hockey in a co-ed Spring League in Wenatchee. There is one other female besides me on the team, which makes it interesting. So far I've score two goals and had one (really awesome) assist. We've won three out of the four games that we've played so far.


• Justin and I have been biking and running a lot lately in preparation for the triathlon we are participating in this July. We've ridden up Beezely hill about three times so far, which is a record for me. Usually I get up there about once a season. I had a pretty good crash last week on the way down and another small crash last night, but all of my body parts seem to be in working order, so I think I'll live.


• My birthday was on the 27th of April (I'm a quarter of a century old!) and Justin, Audrey, and I took a trip to Seattle for a few days to celebrate. We went to Woodland Park Zoo, Carkeek Park, Seattle Center, rode the Monorail (for the first time), Pike Place Market, the Pier, and the Northgate Mall. I really miss living in Seattle, but I really don't miss the traffic. I've gotten used to the slow pace of Eastern Washington again and I forgot how long it takes to get anywhere in Seattle.


• Justin got me a Spokane Chiefs hockey jersey for my birthday! I'm so excited! Too bad hockey season is over, because now I have to think of ridiculous excuses to wear a jersey in the middle of summer...


• Justin and I (along with his mom and two other ladies) have entered ourselves in the Eagles Ironman Challenge. Basically, it's an Ironman triathlon spread out over three weeks. Our team must complete 2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles of biking, and 26.2 miles of running/walking. It should be a great motivator to get out and train, but it seems a little daunting at this point. The competition officially starts tomorrow (it coincides with Bloomsday) and ends on May 22.


• I got offered a job recently, and I really don't want to go into detail right now, but I'm pretty excited. It would be a full time position, but with flexible hours. Oh, and fairly decent pay too. Anyway, keep me in your prayers.

And that's about all I have to say about that. Until next time...
