First things first: yes, I got up at 2 am to watch the royal wedding. I was back in bed by 3:30 and then slept in until almost 6 and got on with my day. Totally worth it! This morning’s workout was one of my favorites of all time – stacking bricks. Long-time bloggy friends […]
T (x3)
Thing the First: When “Easy” isn’t Easy I went out for an “easy 3” run this morning and it was just about the toughest thing I’ve done lately! Oh, I’ve got my excuses – big bike ride yesterday (more about that in a bit), crazy schedule, etc. – but I still don’t like it when […]
I {Less-Than-Three} Hills!
It’s true: I am now officially a lover of hills. At this point, I might as well love ‘em, because I can’t avoid them and race day is looming ever nearer on the horizon and I need to be ready to face some big ones. The WTH bike course description is enough to strike terror […]
FTF
Happy Friday, everyone!! Here are the Four Things on my mind this Friday, in all their bullet-pointy goodness: THING ONE – I’m starting the count down to WTH race day, and that means I’m in nailing-down-the-details mode. I’m not for sure on my outfit yet, but this week I’ve been figuring out what to do […]
Ice Breaker Open Water Swim Race Report
Okay, first of all, this totally wasn’t a “race” since I chose the Open Division and the swim wasn’t officially timed. But the “ice breaker” part was descriptive for sure – whooooooo wheeee that was some chilly water this morning!! I’m not a fan of suspense, so I’ll tell you right up front – this […]
Cold to Hot and Back Again
It occurred to me last week that I’m getting mighty close to my Half Iron race. Like, it’s a mere 46 days away. Holy crap, how did that happen?? Apparently, while I was sitting on the sidelines, time was still passing. Who knew? I think the thing that struck me the most is how completely […]
The Month o’ March is Done!
I enjoyed February’s monthly recap so much, I’ve decided to make it a regular feature. Until I get tired of it or forget to do it, that is. March was a pretty terrific month, all things considered. I put a new Half-Iron training schedule on the fridge and stuck to it about 99% of the […]
Back at It
No, I didn’t actually fall off the face of the earth, it just totally seemed like it! I certainly didn’t intend to spend almost two weeks away from Bloggyville, but life, work and some computer troubles have kept me away. The poor computer made a loud *POP* then a puff of smoke and then…nothing. We’re […]
Deep Thoughts from the Shallow End of the Pool
I mentioned before that it’s been many, many years since I’ve belonged to a gym, but I don’t think I told you that I’ve never (as in never, EVER) been in a gym lap pool before. In fact, I can probably count the number of times I’ve ever been in a public pool in my […]
February Re-Cap
I don’t usually do a “monthly numbers” post, probably because my normal training volume isn’t really post-worthy. In fact, February’s running and cycling numbers are only post-worthy in the “If you can’t be a good example, at least you can serve as a horrible warning” way. Ouch. But my swimming? Oh, yeah, baby! For comparison’s […]
