New bike!

My training has officially kicked off with the purchase of a new bike! It's not the same bike I've been waiting for, but it's a comparable bike and woman specific which fits better anyway.
Here's the website, the color is lipstick red, which is very cool.

Our practice last weekend was a 'brick'. That's were you combine running and biking...not at the same time. I ran one mile, bike 13 and then ran..er walked one more mile. The bike ride was great, a loop around Mercer Island which has fun hills and lots of curves. Great place to break in the new bike. Sunday we swam (in a pool) and I was in lane 6, which is the fast lane! Jared was only in lane 3, the slow lane...hehhhehe. That just means he wants more help and I just like to get out and swim.
After the work outs on Sat. and Sun. we immediately started working on the house. Saturday we bought all our new kitchen appliances at a warehouse liquidation sale, serious savings!!! Then loaded a 16' moving truck with construction debris. Sunday we took 2.5 tons of debris to the dump and then recycled what we could. I felt really bad putting all that stuff into a landfill, but not sure how else to do it? This week we are working on re-wiring the house and then will start putting it back together again. busy busy busy.
I will post photos soon.....
