The Surf City Half Marathon was a blast! It was a very busy weekend too. Just because you are in Southern California for the weekend doesn’t mean Ironman Training stops. Brett and I drove down to San Pedro Friday night after I got of work. We arrived at the harbor (we were staying on his [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

I don’t know if I’m actually calling them resolutions or goals but I have some things in mind for 2010 that I’d like to work on. First on the list, and the overall focus for 2010 (as most of you know) is to break 12 hours at Ironman Coeur d’Alene. As you can see that’s [...]
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 [...]
