I can’t believe I got from last weekend to this weekend without writing about the fabulosity that was those 2 days, a week ago.  I think that’s how it goes.  I figure I’d better spit it out before I have another weekend to recount because I know you all yearn to  live vicariously through my [...]

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 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 [...]

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 [...]

There are a couple of truisms when it comes to racing. Don’t go out too fast …. and It’s all about the shirt. This weekend’s 20 miler gave me an opportunity to be reminded of both – one in a good way and one, not so much. The race was the Clarksburg Country Run featuring [...]

For someone who raced her last race of the year last weekend I worked awfully hard this weekend. Saturday’s Ride: It wasn’t quite as hairy as that elevation chart makes it look but it was hard enough. I kept up with the group until we got to that little pointy thing right before the big [...]

Tomorrow is race day and I’m ready although I’m really tired. I wanted to share with you what I got at the Expo. I had to go twice to do this. I got the stuff in the first picture on Thursday night when they had “Ladies Night” complete with wine and crackers and cheese. I [...]

I’ve been running quite a bit lately because I have this little race coming up next weekend (the Nike Half Marathon).  I increased my running volume quite dramatically.  Check it out – this is my weekly milage   starting 10  weeks ago and rounded up to the nearest mile: 10, 5, 14, 4, 2, 16, 5, 7, 28, [...]
