Updates in the Sidebar

I have updated a bunch of things in the sidebar! If you get this blog delivered to your email make sure you go to the blog and check it out.

Things that are new in the sidebar:

Twitter Updates:
I use a service called Twitter which allows me to update my location and activities from anywhere! Right now, it usually says things like "painting my house" or "making lunch" or "going to the gym", but soon it will say "standing at the top of Copper Mtn." and so on!

Training Calendar:
Want to carpool to a ski event? Wanna go for a hike? Just curious what insane people like us do while training in season? Check out my Training Calender.

Quotes that help:
Updated with my NEW favorite quote, which I am considering getting as a tattoo.

Then, scroll down scroll down to Nutrition Tips:

The Catharine Chronicles said...

I almost bought Skinny Bitch, but then I read the part where they said coffee was for pussies, and decided I would have to become their sworn enemies for life.

You can take my aspartame, you can take my diet soda, you can even take my junk food. Touch my coffee and you will surely die a horrible, horrible death. Think... "from my cold, dead fingers...."

But the rest of the books sound great. I've ordered Pure Heart, Enlightened Mind, even.

Gee, I miss Montana. I'm beginning to think I dreamed it.
