The Sweet Smell of Early Training

I'm as girlie as the next girl and enjoy products that smell nice. Jeff uses my bath and body products, so often smells like mangoes, pears, berries, passion fruit and whatever floral combinations are currently my favorite. But right now...there's a certain scent that overrides all the others, and several days each week I walk around smelling just like a Wint-O-Green lifesaver. It's better than smelling overly medicinal. But I have a meeting with a new client this afternoon, and after a cold and long morning run, I'm not sure what she's going to think when meeting up with her new "minty" web designer!

What's In This Name

OK...another year of getting ready for 12 Hour solo and 24 hour solo and/or team mountain biking. Last year was disappointing with my wreck before Tsali and then work/personal life getting in the way of Cowbell and Santos. So...another year of blogging and a new look as well as a new blog name. Trying to differentiate between the work site and the hobby/athletic pursuit site.

So...what does the name of the blog mean? Well, enduro is short for endurance mountain biking. That one was probably a gimme for several of you. The next goes along with the cool graphic I found, along with my heritage. Eejit is Irish slang for "idiot". As many folks think I'm nuts to mountain bike at all, let alone for 12 or 24 hours at a time, I thought it fitting. Plus, who doesn't love a little alliteration!

I hope those of you who enjoy keeping up with my falls and foibles will visit regularly and comment from time to time as I take this on. And for my other solo and team endurance friends and acquaintances, I'll have musical goodies from time to time!
