Buzzkill redeemed?

After the embarassing and annoying series of buzzkills by HP02, she decided to attempt to redeem herself by taking HP01 on a fitness extravaganza on Sunday. HP01 drove over to Gtown, where the HPs caught the tow-path and biked to the head of the billy goat trail. There they locked up the bikes and headed for the rocks. They got about a half a mile into the hike and realized that this was going to take all day, and mid-day committments were fast approaching, so back to the bikes they went. All in all it was a 20 mile trip, 1/2 mile hike. Cross-training is the best training, in HP02's estimation. And this was the PEAK weekend for fall colors...I havent been able to stop smiling all day because of the beauty around me!!!

HP02 is officially back on the wagon. Last week the bike was the vehicle of choice for the commute to work everyday, and after one month last week was the triumpant return to the pilates studio. Or not. HP02 learned her lesson and will never lapse with the pilates again. Not only have I been sore for the last 4 days, I mean REALLY sore, but I have been replaced as the star student by girlish looking Gtown students back in town for school. The new prize student is a sophmore at Gtown and a ballet dancer. Barf.

Thus begins the birthday week. HP02's birthday isnt until Friday, but everyone should be allowed to party like its 1999 the week before their big day! Yihaw! After pilates, though, of course.
