Been a long time . . .

So nothing like 6 months of blogging absence to bring a girl back on the scene.  Oops, sorry.  Shortly after the RAIN ride, we found out that I was actually 4-5 weeks pregnant when I trucked across the state.  We're working on the urban legend to make it sound like I was closer to 7 months pregnant and rode 160 miles across the state.  Makes me sound a little bit tougher.  :)

Anyway, recently my fitness routine has been on hiatus as I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions @ 7 PM if I'm not laying down on the couch.  So I got a strongly worded reprimand from the nurse practitioner on Thursday of last week to rest as much as possible.  I'm obeying to the best of my ability.

So as I'm dreaming of doing a 5K this coming summer, I'm reading a few new favorite fitness blogs.  Here are my picks for the new year if you're looking to be a fitter you.

• Fit Sugar
• That's Fit
• LIFT

The best Fit Sugar article 'o the day is this one about the passing of Tony the Tiger due to complications from Type 2 Diabetes.  Enjoy the sites.
