I saw Thor last night.  I don’t generally go to action films because they usually involve cars flying through the air and buildings blowing up and I find that disturbing but I really wanted NOT to spend yet another Saturday night at home and my friend’s husband picked Thor so Thor it was. Thor is, [...]

Thanks to Coach Tammy I’ve just learned about these things called QR Codes.  You create them using a QR  generator and you read them using a QR reader.  I downloaded Connectme QR to my iPhone and watched the magic happen.  You can, too! This one is a little self referential but you can create them [...]

Today my theme song is ‘Let it Go’. There are things troubling me but these are things over which I have no control so I need to let it go, focus on what I can handle and let the rest work itself out.  

Today was race day.  1st race of the season and I arrived at the start under trained and over weight – not a winning combination but a great way to inspire myself to get it together. I also showed up with my new bike!  New to me – it’s a 2007 Cervelo P2C. I realized [...]

But check out what Donald’s been up to! His blog is a treasure trove of information on ultra-running and he has give aways! But shhhh… I want to win!

Not that kind of race – the other kind. The rat race. A year ago I would have given up all the training time in the world to have the problem of having to go back to work tomorrow.  This year I am giving up all the training time in the world to go back [...]

Oh yes – this will be a happy new year. Last year I was at the end of my rope (and my money) with being unemployed and I was a nervous wreck. Now I’m an over worked nervous wreck with a paycheck. Last year I was desperately lonely and longing for a ‘someone’ in my [...]
