Extreme Makeover–Garage Edition

June 9, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

I’ve showed you pictures of my craptastic garage before, much to my embarassment.  It’s pretty utilitarian, holding all the junk we can’t keep in the house.  Check out how many changes it’s gone through over the years: Pre-Phase One.  This was taken before we moved in, when we were still thinking of buying the house, […]

Christmas Gift Review–BOSU Ball

December 27, 2010 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

I’ve been running for about four and a half years now, but I didn’t crosstrain at all for the first year or so.  When I gave myself a stress fracture from running too much, I discovered how much I liked riding a bike and swimming.  (Okay, I don’t actually like swimming, but it is a […]

Hillacious, Bodacious and Review-acious?

August 21, 2010 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Today’s run was a 14-miler on the gorgeous nearby bike trail.  I was both excited – because I enjoy long runs – and nervous – because this route is HILLY, and I haven’t run 14 miles since early spring.  I have done any very much hill work recently, so I had a feeling today was […]

Stacking Bricks

August 14, 2010 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Not to be confused with laying pipe…  ;P This morning’s workout was the most awesomest thing ever!  Rather than doing a straight brick of bike miles and run miles, I broke it into smaller bricks and did them back to back to back.  Here’s what I mean:  I biked 8 miles, then I ran 2 […]

Whatchu Got?

August 3, 2010 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Patrick and Kovas made me do it, I swear.  The thing about running or triathlon-ing is, the more you do it, the more gear you “need.”  Suddenly, the garage that used to be full of cars is full of bikes, and the shoe rack of high heels is replaced with boxes of Newtons.  These are […]
