I’m only calling this Hump Day Miscellany because it’s Wednesday and that’s what Wednesdays are for.  I’m not doing miscellany, though – I’m giving you my 2 fabulous weekends (the last 2) in pictures because pictures are worth 1,000 words at least.  Maybe more.  I might use a few words, too because sometimes you had [...]

I decided to just post pictures of a bunch of stuff Folsom Olympic Distance Triathlon The night before the race I went to the Mexican restaurant next door and ordered  a chicken burrito, expecting to get a normal burrito.  No.  I got this ginormous thing (note the burrito is as wide as my laptop and [...]

1).  My friend Susan is the most super-dee-duper sherpa in the whole wide world and no – you can’t have her for your race.  She took perfect care of 3 of us all weekend and managed to get DPR to the airport with minutes to spare to catch her flight home.  Her bike stayed with [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

1). Let me just apologize for the picture in my last post.  Those are just fluffy bits of lovely cotton, you know. I’m better – almost 100%!  I didn’t workout today but I also didn’t sleep.  I didn’t take any cold meds.  I am almost all better and so very grateful for that.  2).  Does [...]

I had a double experience today that just left me shaking my head.  It comes under the category of “did they really think that would work?”  1). First off my dealings with Comcast – my internet/phone/cable TV provider.  On December 12th I called to have HDTV installed and to get their ‘triple play’ bundle that [...]

It’s a miracle!  I’m actually getting this written on the correct day.  Must be that spirit of renewal we are all feeling.  We are all feeling it right?  I am!  So without further ado …. 1). Drive By Compliment –  The other day when I was riding up Mt. Diablo in the middle chain ring [...]

I guess Thursday really is the new Wednesday or is that the other way around?  I don’t know.  I just know that my blogging has gotten pretty sporatic because I’m starting to bore myself but let me just see if I can pull a rabbit out of my hat. 1).  I am 1 1/2 weeks [...]
