75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
This is my deal, I’m doing an olympic triathlon this month, I know I won’t win or likely place in my age group unless there is some sort of freak accident among all the 30-39 year old ladies and I don’t think it’s a super serious race like at all but this thing is I... Continue Reading →
It’s happening you guys, I’m really and truly getting ready and somewhat confident I’m going to live through this triathlon thing later THIS month! But I also have a list of things that probably aren’t going to happen adding up too. Things like using my aero bar or even riding the drops, finishing in three... Continue Reading →
Do you ever cop an attitude about something, really dig in your heels, refuse to consider alternatives and then find out you were dead wrong? Yeah me neither except this one time… Well I wish I could say it was only one time but it happened one time this week and that was about training... Continue Reading →
This isn’t necessarily the post you think it’s going to be. It’s also NOT a thinly disguised humble brag at all. It’s actually the first in a two part series, the next being why it’s easier for you than me. What it is meant to do is point out that we all face challenges and... Continue Reading →

It occurred to me this week I’m not sure I’ve done a single workout on the assigned day yet. I might have but it was purely by accident. This week was actually a lot of fun at work, in life and in training. Buy the time I reach week 8 in a 12 week running... Continue Reading →
It’s starting… except that it hasn’t really after last year's failure. This post is going to follow a lot like those half marathon updates you’ve been reading but for this week it’s what I’m doing or not doing to get prepared and a little bit on my training strategy. You’ll notice next week I’m not... Continue Reading →
Training for much more that a 10k can consume your life in a pretty big way. Even a 10k can really eat into your free time in a otherwise busy life for a couple of weeks. I’ve been training for a half marathon for since February and building my base for training before that. But... Continue Reading →
If you come to triathlon the way most of us do, through running, you might get a big ‘ol smack in the face when you get to the start line of your first triathlon. Sure they chat at the start line, you almost have to since you’re there way longer but the chats are different.... Continue Reading →
So you want to tackle your first race or a new distance, that’s great! Maybe you’ve already completed one but the whole thing seemed like a disorganized mess or you skipped a lot. Almost all of the work for race day and accomplishing your goals is done in training, after that the race is the... Continue Reading →
