Running is my favorite thing. I just love it. I’ve always loved it and I’ve always been good at running for a long time. One of my favorite things as a kid was a jog-a-thon fundraiser. People donated money on a per lap basis, for example $1 per lap and then we ran for a [...]
**Updated: Even as I write these next couple chapters about my Ironman (now two months out) I question my attitude on race day, I question if I should race with a time goal again, I question my training, and my heart. I’ve had a bit of a cold this week, which has sidelined me again [...]

Well, I guess it’s time to write about the big day. I’m not exactly sure why I put it off. I think partly life was just busy afterwards, spending time with family, driving 16 hours, coming home and celebrating with friends, and of course working. I also think I just didn’t really want to face [...]
Unless I’m racing…or training. I mean, I just really like pink….and I don’t really mind standing out when I’m working out. Which is weird, because in real life (so not racing or training I mean [cuz that's not real?]) I actually try to blend-in and NOT be noticed, I even get pretty embarrassed if and [...]
I have mixed emotions about tapering. I think I always have this little ideal situation planned out in my head where I’m going to cut back on my training, feel great about every session I do (because it’s short), and then spend the rest of my day being an energetic bumble-bee flittering around and doing [...]
A few weeks ago, I was scheduled to do a 4 hour ride. I had been riding a lot, and was really sick of all my 4 hour routes. I wasn’t feeling excited about riding at all, and I couldn’t find anyone to go with me. I was pretty bummed. I finally got up and [...]
I got my new aero-bar elbow cradles put on today. Two long rides ago my left cradle broke (I didn’t even know that could happen)….so I’ve been riding with my weight shifted to the right for a while. I don’t think this was very good for my little back muscles. So, I’m happy to report [...]
I got this in the mail today… It’s the new flavor of GU! How exciting is that?! It’s from Charisa Wernick, she’s a pro triathlete who’s blog I read. I commented on her site and she sent me the NEW GU! How cool is she?! I actually just featured Charisa on my BLOG of the [...]
Brett is watching LOST which I don’t watch so I’m actually finishing some blogs that I started a while ago. I love writing, but I hate editing and re-reading so there are few piled up here in my DRAFTS. I also have a problem doing things out of chronological order or “out of order” at [...]
