I started this blog over a year ago, before graduation and the new job. I was sure at that time that I would keep up with it and keep in touch... Well turns out finding a job in a recession is not as easy as I thought it was going to be. Colleges don't tend to tell their students, "um good luck, now that we are rid of you, there is no promise that anyone else will take you!" but I digress. So I decided I would just clear out the old and outdated posts and start fresh. Here we go!
I finally got a job about 2 months after graduation, working at athenahealth in Belfast. I absolutely love my job, and enjoy spending lots of time at work, much to the chagrin of Wes. :) athenahealth has a cycling group this year that will be doing the Trek Across Maine, there is a group of $15 people and we are getting organized and ready to ride! The ride is 180 miles from Sunday River to Belfast, from June 18-20. I have been training for the past couple months to get ready for this, but I'm struggling with my work-life-training balance. I'm sure I will get it down in good time.
Thanks for reading!

P.S. - Wanna meet my bike!?
Did I mention that I am very excited for my new cycling shoes and pedals...
Sidi Genius 5 Women
These are the shoes!
If it was acceptable to wear these 24/7 I would, they are unbelievably comfortable!
Speedplay X/5 Chromoly
And these are the pedals.
They are proving to be a little tricky to un-clip when I am ready to stop... But I'm sure I will get the hang of it...
Did I mention that I really think my bike just wants to be color coordinated? Let me tell you why..... This is my bike.
Note the overwhelming red white and blue. So when I bought my shoes, I knew which specific ones I wanted, and I was able to get a brand new pair of last year's model for less money, so obviously I did it, turns out they are red and silver.... And my pedals, I bought them at Pat's Cycles in Brewer, and they only had one pair of the specific ones I wanted. So I show up, and what color are they? Blue. Seriously I'm not making these choices anymore, my bike just has a sick sense of humor.
