Really, it's December?

The last few months have literally been a blur! October went by so fast, I don't even know what to say. Then the beginning of November wrapped up cyclocross season, finishing the year with back to back weekends of 4 very snowy races and an upgrade to open women for me - EEK, oh my!



Then mid-November we all hopped on a plane to Oregon for a Picky Party to reveal their new wrappers! Why did we go, you ask? Well ...


Picky Bars came out with 6 new wrapper designs that all represent #lifepoints moments captured by a picture and a unique story told from pictures across the globe. We were one of those 6 that made it onto a wrapper, and so honored to have been chosen in such great company as the other winners. 

Picky Bars embraces and lives the #lifepoints lifestyle and want to encourage others to get out there and be awesome in their own unique way; whatever that means to each individual person. Read our story and the other five, then get out there and create your own #lifepoints! 


I also had the opportunity to meet and spend time with some really down to earth and fabulous people while in Oregon. Not to mention getting the chance to mingle and run with a group of really cool women including Kate Grace and Lauren Fleshman, two of the fastest and wickedest chicks on the planet. The run was a few days after the party, on one of their easy run days, their words, not mine - I was out of my league and couldn't keep up, but loved every minute of it! 

If you've never been to Bend, OR you should! It very quickly became one of my favorite places I've visited! Passionate active lifestyle people, with unique and locally owned stores, great running vibe and trails; not to mention the best waffles I've ever had at the Mill Inn, our Bed and Breakfast while there. 

With November now behind us, December brings the start of the winter race season and the holidays! Training, racing and eating ... some of my favs!
