Here’s what I did this weekend on Saturday: 3 Bears via Pig Farm + Inspiration Pt. When I told my inadvertant coach Monica about it I got this response: WHY did you ride 4 hours today?  WHY did you ride 57 miles!!!!  There is absolutely no need to ride anything over 2 hours!!!  You will [...]

I am sick with a cold.  A really nasty one. Maybe it is the flu but I don’t have any body aches so I don’t think so.  There are 2 things I can’t stop doing – blowing my nose and eating.  This is what my trash bin looks like right now:   I bought a [...]

Oh well – I did not have a 5K PR in the couples relay but I did have a great time! I rode a really hard ride on Saturday along with a bunch of people from Forward Motion Race Club and with a match.com guy I had had one other date with.  He’s nice but [...]

  In 2005 Nike launched an ad campaign that was intended to be body positive and pro-running (well duh- it’s Nike!)  One of their posters showed a nice, healthy pair of thighs and declared in large print – I Have Thunder Thighs and in smaller print “And that’s a compliment because they are strong and [...]

Picture two women cruising the California coastline in a convertible with the top down on a beautiful sunny day having just had a stunning and exhilarating  trail run followed by an authentic and delicious lunch at a little Tacqueria.  And that was just how my weekend ended.  Everything leading up to that moment was equally as [...]

Happy New Year!  I’m still here and you’re still there and life goes on, changed very little by the actual date and yet – we all wake up January 1 filled to the brim with determination to make THIS year the BEST year ever.  And there’s certainly nothing wrong with that.  I’m a little late [...]

I’ve been right here.  Here but not inspired to blog.  Must be that time of year, non?  I will soon be not here – I will be there.  There with all 3 of my kids, my son in law, my sister, her kids and in laws and her husband and I AM SO EXCITED!!  I [...]

I had a lovely weekend.  On Saturday I went for a chilly bike ride with  the good doctor.  He is not really in riding shape so the way out was easy going.  The way back is usually really fast because it is a gentle, constant downhill grade but it was also into a strong head wind [...]

I had a lot of stuff to write about today.  I was going to write about the new men in my life.  That’s right – men.  I have a house mate and he brought a dog – a boy dog.  That will have to wait, though.  I was going to talk aobut the glorious 4 [...]

You know how that goes. Some days you are the dog and some days you are the hydrant. Today was way more hydrant than dog. I’m not talking about training – I did no training today. I’m just talking about life in general. Today it seemed like my life was getting away from me. Whenever [...]
