I still find it hard to figure myself out. Sometimes I seem so stressed about things being “settled” or normal or calm .. . but then I am bored out of my mind when they are. Geez. I have decided to try a proactive stategy, and switch things up just becuase I can. Actually, this is a constant with me. I always want something new! Look, I have found a common thread!
So, my new things so far in 2010 are: loving winter, hypnosis (it’s not scary), an Ayurvedic dietary approach, the Biomat, #9 Chocolate (!!!) Agave gels for training, my own homemade electrolyte mix, no new jeans in the last 3 weeks, Bikram yoga, snowboarding as much as possible, (just noticed my word count is 111 and if anyone really knows me, then you know that matters!), cross country skiing (thank you Nordic Center at Durango Mountain Resort!), snowshoeing, avoiding the bars, humidifiers, bananas, hot springs, saunas, and loving more than ever. Loving my boyfriend, loving my friends, loving what I do, loving my family, loving all my supporters and loving myself. Big changes indeed. . .
Just read an awesome quote by Bob Dylan: “Man is successful if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night, and in between does what he wants to do”.
All that talk about loving………….I’m loving this post!

First of all, I have to say congrads on the many milestones you, the sponsored team and your family are reaching. In addition, it is nice to see a fellow Carolinian caring on the tradition, at a high level I might add, of enjoying life in the great outdoors to its fullest with family and great friends. At the level you guys ride and the opportunities that your grab, continue to enjoy these opportunities that are helping to shape your future. Great site and keep up the grand riding. Best of luck to you.

To make my body a temple pure
Wherein I dwell serene;
To care for the things that shall endure,
The simple, sweet and clean.
To oust out envy and hate and rage,
To breath with no alarm;
For nature shall be my anchorage,
And none shall do me harm.
From “A Rolling Stone” by Robert Service
I’m looking forward to the coming season. I think it’s gonna be your best yet.

I hope your winter is ending safely and peacefully, but I am sure you are getting ready for race season too. I have just found your Bio’s page and I will check back often to see how you are doing. It is a shame you were in Colorado for the winter, you missed the best winter in Asheville in the last 15+ years. We will keep the mud flinging and an open place on the ride for you if you are in the area.
Keep up the Great work, Joe Erne (East Asheville)
