It's all good...

I have to say that things are really looking up - yippee!


Here's the before and after shots of my bike fit

 After being unable to ride my bike for over a month, I finally found Dr. Jody Gilligan of Corrective Chiropractic.  He is not only a Chiropractor, but a bike fitter, and competitive cyclist!  Do you hear the angels singing, too?  He spent nearly six hours with me over two nights, and when all was said and done, I felt like I was on someone else's bike!  I've been out for several rides and am happy to report I am no longer having any back pain! 
If you are having any problems, give him a shout, and tell him I sent you!

Last week we were lucky enough to make it up to The Kennedy Space Center (actually the Astronaut Hall of Fame) to witness the final space shuttle launch... EVER.  Just us and one million people we have never met.  It was pretty cool to actually be there, though.  The huge countdown clock, the engines igniting, and the rumbling boom as she lifted off into space.  I'm not ashamed to admit that I shed a few tears when she left the launch pad.  The experience almost made up for the FOUR HOURS we sat in traffic to go 40 miles afterwards.  Sheesh!

But... we had no choice because we were headed to Orlando Airport to pick up Isabella who was flying in with her Grandpa Welch after spending a week in Rhode Island.  Boy, did I miss her!  It was hard to be home and not have her there (though, the quiet was nice, and I didn't watch the Disney channel even once).  She's already talking about going back next summer.  Lucky kid.

So, things are good for now in our world.  I have not signed up for any more TNT events (so you can let go of the death grip you had on your checkbook), but will be volunteering with them for the next few months.  I like the chance to be involved, just not so financially committed!  I will be switching my training to focus more on the run for the next few months.  I am signed up for the Diva's Half Marathon in October on Long Island.   It's been a while since I've run 13.1 - nearly two years as a matter of fact, but hopefully my feet will remember what to do!  I'll keep you posted!
