Okay, no it wasn’t really that bad, but today was my first Open Water Swim, and let’s just say: it wasn’t pretty. I realized on our way to the lake that the last time I did an open water swim was my one and only triathlon in September 2008! I was actually pretty excited about […]
Bike and Swim Day
Today was the first day of what I think will be the “new normal” for me: I went to work very early and worked out when I got home, rather than the other way around. I’m a big fan of routines and it has always been my routine to exercise before work, so getting used […]
Easy Run Day
First, let me tell you about the latest giveaway I entered (because I LOVE these things!): Running with Whit is the Hostess with the Mostest for this one, and it’s for the book Delivering Happiness (link takes you to Amazon.com to read all about it). Entry is easy as pie, and you don’t even have […]
Swim Day
Well, clearly the silver lining to all the heat during the day is that my pool is now a really awesome swimming temperature – yay! It’s gone up at least 8 or 10 degrees since last week (when it was in the 60s, brrrrrrrrrr). I had another terrific swim day today – I went 1200 […]
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 […]
Five Goals Friday!
Alright, I’m a newbie blogger, so bear with me while I figure this stuff out and get the hang of who’s who. I entered my first giveaway today – I’m so excited!! Check it out here: Running on My Time Sweaty Bands Giveaway. I adore Sweaty Bands! I saw them at Fleet Feet and pretty […]
Swim Day
Wow, today was an absolute revelation! Do you remember the day you “became” a runner? I do. It was September 14, 2006. I had been walking in the mornings for almost a year, trying to lose some weight and not seeing any results. Somewhere around the first of September, I convinced myself to give running […]
Run/Swim Day
Technically, today was supposed to be a swim-only day, but I’ve been having a lot of “Monday blahs” lately and I know the best cure for that is running. I think it’s ironic that when I worked, I used to LOVE Mondays and now that I’m underemployed, I get totally bummed when Monday rolls around. […]
BRICK
Oh, yes, today was BRICK day and I was feelin’ all migh-tay, migh-tay, just lettin’ it all hang out. I love brick days. They’re a real challenge for me, and it feels so terrific to meet (and sometimes even exceed) my expectations for myself. Here’s what I loved about today’s workout:1. I was wearing a […]
Run/Swim Day
So according to my training plan, I wasn’t supposed to run today – whatever!! The plan doesn’t include nearly enough running to suit my tastes, so I changed it. (Hey, I made the plan myself, so I can make the changes, too). I ran the kids to school, which doesn’t count because I didn’t turn […]
