“Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.”

Oh yeah, it's almost summer!!!
Ok, sure. You can troll on over to Rachel's hottie Hawaii blog, or Bree's super sexy "do you want a lei" it's-always-beautiful-in-Hawaii blog.
What's the big deal with all their clear water pictures with scantily clad bod's looking good in the tropics. Booooooring! :)
I mean, c'mon. Gorgeous one day. Gorgeous the next. Who cares?! Wednesday is a stunning 75 degree day with quick afternoon showers rolling through in Honolulu. But wait -- a forecast difference. Thursday is different!!!! Thursday is 72 degrees, much chillier, and the afternoon showers are a mere drizzle.
Nice one day. Nice the next. *Yawn* Who wouldn't get sick of such perfection???!!!
But in Boulder, Colorado ... now HERE you've come to some variance. This place is a meteorologist's dream. No prediction is expected to be correct because everything changes on the drop of a dime.
Take today, for example. It's April 17. It is almost MAY. It is 32 degrees and the snow has not let up. Snow ALL DAY.
In APRIL.
So you could be my girls Rachel and Bree lathering on the sun block in Hawaii, or Trakkers owner Charlie Patten, phoning me that he's going for a run in 80 degree Virginia weather ...
... or you could be here, and this could be your 3pm view from your bedroom window....
It's hard to see the snow is falling... but it is.
Anyone can have perfect weather in April. Blossoms can be blooming. Birds can be singing. But we get snow...
And here is the best part --- snow and 30 degrees all weekend... 65-68 degrees all next week.
Where else but Boulder can this happen???

Timex Photo Shoot
One of the things done at Timex Camp is several hours worth of photographs. Here are a few so you can see our beautiful group.
Here is one taken of our entire team. I love this pic.
Soon after the group pictures were complete, Ian Ray, Chris Thomas, Phaedra Cotes, Alex Mroszczyk-Macdonald and I were shuttled to a coastal location close to Camp HQ to take some shots in the Timex casual gear soon to be found in stores around.
Boys will be boys. Here is Chris and Ian racing! Good Lord! :)
Alex and Sharpie :)
Chris simply looking like the stud he is. 2 days before he won the overall amateur title at CA 70.3
Just hanging around....
As we prepared for some beach shots, we laughed to see our teammate, Rachel Ross, on a solo run right towards our photo shoot. (Whatever! She stalked us so she could be a part of it! We knew! :) ha...)
It was a perfect opportunity to include her in some casual running shots...
