I LOVE that Cindy said what she did re: just listen and do what I say. What a perfect thing to hear! Just reading it made me physically relax so I can only imagine what it did for you in the moment. =) I love the small transformations and the relaxation in your partnership with Carmen as the ride progressed. It sounds like a great kickstart into the season!Liz Stouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267806576736655184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-67791613099082112212018-04-01T10:00:11.531-03:002018-04-01T10:00:11.531-03:00You two look really good and it is so early in the...You two look really good and it is so early in the season.
