I’m okay with a Monday Tuesday post because this Tuesday is Monday for most of us.  Monday was Memorial Day and I hope you all remembered to remember and honor those who died in service to our country no matter how you feel about the conflict they served in. Here’s what I did over this [...]

I have been invited to participate in a book shower.  A book shower is where you do something more innovative for an author than just a vanilla review and in this case I am going to challenge you beat me at making a worry doll.  But, as usual, I’ve gotten ahead of myself.  The book [...]

I’m having some trouble really embracing my training plan. It isn’t like I’m not training -I am.  Not compared to people like DPR and Muppet Dog Molly but still – I ride, I run, I swim.  Except when I skip my workout.  Like today.  Today was swim/run but I have a problem. Huge problem.  No [...]

And not just any date – oh no.  I’ve a got a three way scheduled for mid-June.  Ooooo baby!  That’s right!  I’m meeting up with Runner Susan and Juls for a wine country bike ride!  Wine will be involved.  Lots of wine.  And Cheese.  And more food.  And showers.  Yes…. showers.  I think Mr. Runner [...]

I just ate an entire Pizza.  900 calories; 330 of them from fat.  Only I put some more cheese on it so make that 1200 calories with 500 of them from fat.  Awsome.

Mother’s Day 2009 went like this: 7 AM – Fabulous Open Water Swim Clinic where I learned some great stuff about sighting that might even keep the kayak guys from having to chase me down next time I race – awesome! 8:30 – coffee and fruit 9:00 – Trail Run.  I was feeling kind of [...]

It all started months ago when a guy in my race club announced an interest in getting some teams together to run The Relay – a 200 mile relay race that starts in Calistoga and ends in Davenport.  It used to end in Santa Cruz which was far more recognizable but the city of Santa [...]

1).  Where have I been?  Right here.  Same place as always 2). FaceCrack is an evil time suck 3). I’m kind of working.  It isn’t an official job yet but it will be soon and so I’m doing stuff.  More later 4).  I have been a lazy ass about training.  Seriously – I need to gear [...]
