Hello to all reading this blog!!   Thanks for stopping by after no updates for a while.  Since my last blog entry I have continued to experience the healing benefits of Bikram Yoga.  I am now going to a great studio called YOGAGROOVE near Anderson Ln and Shoal Creek.  I have enjoyed getting to know the great instructors there.  My back seems to be getting stronger and more flexible, but I have still not been able to run and bike pain free.  Swimming has no pain now, so that's a great thing!!  I have also been doing weight training, physical therapy exercises, and stretching.  My cardio exercise is limited to mostly swimming and the elliptical trainer.  I am a lot less fit than when I was training a lot and racing, but I think this is the best thing for my body right now.

I am really excited to spend more time with my kids and my husband lately.   We go to the track just before dusk most days with my mother-in-law so she can get some exercise.  She is feeling much better now after several months of illness.  The kids started school and are loving it!  Jude and I are extremely thankful for our relationship as always, but are having more fun nights out together as a couple.  For all those married parents out there, make time for just you and your spouse.  It will go a long way to maintaining and even creating more of a fun and exciting marriage.
