The real estate market in Asheville is on fire. This week I have 2 new listings that went live and I must say, they are both fabulous. Plenty of space and trees galore. I am still able to sneak in a bit of Ironman training between marketing and showings. It may not be my best race but I am sure it will be fun.

I couldn’t train for an Ironman or pretty much function without my fabulous group of girlfriends. As a social person, mixing workouts with time to catch up and chat, is a highlight. I am fortunate that so many women in Asheville are also into running, cycling and triathlons. There is rarely a time that I can’t find a buddy to join me on a run or ride. My easy going friends are happy to accompany me on a long run even when they don’t have a race in the books. The people are reason number 4897 that Asheville is special.

I recently found out that the new bike course for Ironman CDA has a little more elevation than I thought. I decided to do some climbing on Sunday and the weather and views were spectacular. Mileage wise, my ride was not impressive. Elevation wise, I felt pretty good. I traded in my helmet for my real estate hat and stopped at a lot for sale to check out the view. I must say, road biking has taken me to some fabulous properties.

Last week was a pretty crazy, busy week. I have 2 houses under contract and am ramping up my Ironman training. On Friday, the weather was in the 70’s, so I set out on a 3.5 hour ride. The Blue Ridge Parkway lead me to the Craggy Visitors Center. The view from the top did not disappoint. The 46 mile ride included nearly 5,000 feet of climbing. The ride down the mountain was incredible.

It’s been a busy couple of days squeezing in my workouts and preparing a home for the market. Multitasking at its best!
