about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

I got a nice email from the photographer at the Champoeg 30K, along with permission to post these. I really really like them so much, and as I said to her, I have a handful of pictures from races, but none of them have captured how much I enjoy racing. And, this is the first that's really not taken 300 yards away. Nice work. I can't wait to get my print copies in the mail.

I'm also excited for this weekend. PFit starts Saturday, VancouverFit (WA) begins Sunday, and I have my motorcycle class this weekend! Wuhoo, I'll have no downtime at all! Oh boy! When am I going to get that 15 miles in????

Hey, those are nice shots! I always look so angry in races. The photos always seem to catch me at the what-the-heck-am-I-doing phase of the race.

Wow, you definitely do look happy! I'm sure I would have the crankiest expression ever if someone shot me during a race :) Keep up the great progress!

Great shots VJ, you sure look happy. I always look like death warmed over or something. I'm usually scared to show the pictures to my wife, she might commit me to the hospital (or the nut house):->

Nice pics! I wish I could do PFit this year. Still a little too post-partum.
