Delicious Energy

Posted on June 27, 2015 by Kym Zest

Posted on May 17, 2015 by Kym Zest

It would have been Type 2 Fun alone.  Because I was with a friend it was more like 1.5 Fun.   With a friend it’s more of an adventure when things don’t go as planned. I often train alone.  I like the … Continue reading →

I can’t muster the energy for a thoughtful post. Or even a funny post.  God, I’d love to be funny right now.  It was my first 15 hour training week this season.  That’s including all the itty bitty bike commutes.  It’s … Continue reading →
