Snowboarding in NY

Obviously we have a lot to update our readers on... but for now, check out some video of Team Richardson snowboarding. After only 2 days, we transitioned to the beginner trails... a feat that usually takes 5-6 days. Clearly we excel at everything we do.

Hitting the dirt

Well this morning I woke up at 5:30 to stretch and do my normal pre-running routine. I got directions and was on my way to the USMC Mud Run. Some guys I work with needed another girl on their team and one of the guys works out at the same gym as the XY and I. He knows that I run and that the XY and I are always hitting the weights and thought I would be perfect for their team. I checked out the website before I said yes and it did not look all that bad. It was a 4.2 mile obstacle course that is full of mud, hills, ropes, and did I mention mud? I was going over and under logs in waist high pits of mud, then running through mud and then at one point swimming in an 8 ft deep 20 ft long mud pit!!! While this is going on Marines working the course are shouting at you to speed up and keep running!!! Running 5K and 8K's are no big deal for me but I must say this thing kicked my butt. For the last 75-100 yards of the race we had to put a member of the team on a stretcher and carry them across the finish line. I am by no means the lightest person on the team so the other girl was nominated to be carried across the finish line. I gladly hauled ass across the finish line and was happy that we completed the race in just under 1 hour and 4 minutes. After crossing the finish line I have never felt so proud of my self. I am now feeling the aches of the race but it was well worth it!!! What a way to start the first few weeks in my 30's!!!!
Now I am just relaxing watching the South Carolina vs LSU game and enjoying a beer. We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and are just hanging out. I am not sure if we are going to pull this win out against LSU but at least we are not sitting in the rain watching it.

One year older

So it is the eve of my 30th birthday and I am enjoying the birthday of the XY tonight (he turns 29). We enjoyed a nice evening in just relaxing. I have been thinking about life since the return from our vacation and how getting older is not all that bad. I look forward to my physical peak, my sexual peak and just life itself getting better. The XY and I do realize that we need to take more vacations because only one a year is just not enough. We are planning a fun trip to Vegas for the entire week of Thanksgiving so that will be a blast!! I already have my 4 inch heels and sexy dresses ready. Not much else to talk about so I am going to enjoy the last few hours of being 29!

Vacation Bound


So in less than 2 weeks, XY and I are going on a much needed 7 day vacation to Aruba… thanks to the best in-laws in the world (they let us use their time share).
I have gotten to the point this week at work where I can't stand my employees and the phone ringing makes me sick to my stomach!! I just have to keep thinking positive!! My best friend from high school and XY's best bud from the Army will be joining us for the week. There is nothing more relaxing than a beautiful beach, the best man in the world and great friends (and a fruity cocktail doesn't hurt either) to make a vacation just what it is: a VACATION!!!
I will be all over the beach in my new bikinis and my new bikini body! For the first time since high school (12 years ago) I finally feel comfortable with my body in a bikini. All the waking up at the butt as crack of dawn, the caridio cinema, the weight lifting and running for the last 8 months, day and night, and no dieting (but just eating healthy) has paid off! I am at my goal weight and have maintained it for the last 4 months!!! No more yo-yo weight!!! Yeah me!!
