I forgot on my previous recovery post to include the adventure that was Sunday. Well, actually Sunday was a nice easy run, lots of sewing, and then this:
Yep, I’m changing my brake pads. Did you even know you could do that?! Well, now I can. It was REALLY easy too, especially after I purchased the [...]
Last week was my recovery week. It was fantastic. It’s funny when you are closing in on your need for recovery…..and the idea of a run or a bike ride makes you want to cry. You start wondering why you are doing an Ironman, when you hate training. I was definitely in this low dark place before [...]
The BBC is a little thing the Just Us Girls Tri Club started a couple years ago. BBC stands for Bare Belly Challenge. The Bare Belly Challenge is a personal challenge in which you commit to running or participating in a race (of your choice) showing your Bare Belly. It’s just a little incentive program [...]
Brett and I did a little a puppy sitting last weekend. Zona thought she was in puppy heaven having play partners 24/7. Rocky (the orange cat outside the door) on the other hand didn’t think it was very fun.
It only took about 20 or 30 tries to get a picture of these two where no [...]
I got this in the mail today!! Gatorade Endurance (for riding), Endurox R4 (for after my long training sessions), Endurox Restore (for recovery after my shorter training sessions), and some new HOT PINK (wow) compression socks by CEP (as seen on Hillary Biscay )
I’ve been a HUGE fan of Endurox R4 for a few years [...]

One of my favorite things in life to do is dress up. I’ve always been like that. I’d wear my Halloween costumes year round. I would dress up in my gymnastic recital outfits and run around town. If friends came over to play, we always put on costumes and ran around the forest making up [...]
I made it. I made it to the NIKE women’s marathon and I made it THROUGH the NIKE women’s marathon, well half-marathon. This race is very near and dear to my heart because it was my first FULL MARATHON way back in 2005, wahoo! I loved ALL of it, I always wanted to come back [...]
This is a picture of me and my outstanding friend Scott Bolin, aka Scotty-B. This picture was taken just before we jumped in the water at our first Ironman distance race, Ironman Coeur d’Alene 2007. This was an intense moment, you can probably see the tears a-wellin’ in my eyes here. This was just the [...]
