My lovely bloggy friend Grace, from “Grace, It’s Amazing” bestowed the “Versatile Blogger Award” on me and I happily accept. Why? Because I am rather tired today and had nothing clever to say. So I totally scored on this and just need to come up with 7 things to tell you about myself. Here goes: 1. I LOVE […]
Marriage in Training
Nine times out of ten it is completely excellent to have a husband who also runs, bikes and swims. A husband who pushes me to my limits and beyond, a husband who understands why I want to eat pasta three nights a week and don’t keep sweets in the house. A husband who knows what […]
Running out of Energy
I have already mentioned once or twice that I am a creature of habit. I love me my routines. Just about the only thing I love more than my routines is my cup of coffee (umm, which is a routine!) So, imagine a day without my morning routines and without my coffee in which I […]
Habits and Routines
I was so happy to go for my bike ride this morning, I got up extra early to make sure nothing got in my way (you know, like a creek mishap). I cruised through my favorite not-quite-nine-mile loop at a lovely clip, then cleaned up and dashed off to work. At work, I did some […]
Sh%t Happens
And, unfortunately, I mean that almost literally today. It was a pretty regular morning, in that crazy we-still-have-to-go-to-school-even-though-we’re-mentally-already-on-summer-vacation way (my kids are on a year-round schedule and are FINALLY off next week). I had four miles scheduled for this morning, and someplace to be by 9:30, so getting my kids to school at 8 left […]
Head Games
Today’s bike ride was a thing of beauty: 16.5 miles in the early morning (still cool) weather, and I rocked an 18.3 mph pace. If there is such a thing as “biker’s high” I was feeling it. Adding to my joy was the sense of accomplishment that came with it. This was a pretty long […]
A Honkin’ Great Day!
Happy National Running Day to you! I celebrated by…not running, but pretty much everything else. What a loser, huh? 🙂 My training plan called for a bike/swim day, though, plus I had a scheduled strength training session, so there was no way I was gonna squeeze in a run on top of all that. The […]
Gotta Talk about Biggest Loser
Yesterday I biked and swam – they both went really well and I was very happy. Today I ran 5 miles at a sub-8 pace, which is awesome, yay! Got it? Good. Because what I really want to talk about is the Biggest Loser finale!! OMG, this is why I don’t watch any more TV […]
The Very First Post
Ummm, hi. This is my first blog. Yes, ever. So welcome to it, it’s nice to meet you. My name is P and I’m not an especially fast runner, nor a particularly speedy cyclist, and definitely not a quick swimmer! However, I’m an athlete. I train hard, I train consistently and I’m always training for […]
