I used to be so excited about christmas, and now I can't believe it's a week away! I feel so NOT ready. Sigh. I'm glad to be out of school - it was getting really stressful the last few days with writing huge papers, etc... So I almost saw 'I am Legend' last Friday night - until I became a legend - a legend in freaky health catastrophes that is. I had some pretty bad chest pain and shortness of breath and I thought I was going to pass out and so I stayed the night at OHSU and the next morning and now I'm armed with some good ibuprofen and narcotics to calm the fluid buildup in my heart. Bottom line: no exercise until next year. Not cool. Seriously. Not cool.
I missed bikram yoga last night - that class is so hardcore! It's 90 minutes of total focus + concentration and sweat but you feel so empowered when you're done. This time of year is always kind of surreal because like now, for instance, I have all this free time, no 300-page reading assignments due tomorrow and now - no training plans. It's kind of crazy how busy it gets once racing starts and especially in the summer - there is NO time and it's just crazy-awesome but I love it. Now I have a stack of pleasure-reading books, food and Full House and Gilmore Girls re-runs to keep me occupied. I'd trade anything to have it be June right now. I probably drive Steven up the wall with how much I love summer and track racing and he's a total christmas junkie. Oops.
My really good friend Kacey Manderfield won the women's collegiate cyclocross championships last weekend - which is AWESOME!!! Goooooo Kacey!
I'm counting down to next year - 2008 will be great.

Hey Andrea, I just stumbled on your blog and am sad to hear that you are going through another health issue. You've had a rough few years. I really look forward to your return to the track and hope it is soon.
