Team in Training
I am thinking of trying the Team in Training thing. You know, the little flyer you get in the mail that claims you can train for a marathon, half-marathon, triathlon with a group in your neighborhood? And it claims that you need no experience or anything? I have a meeting on Saturday, and I think it […]
Back on Track?
I was a little derailed by James’ 3rd birthday last weekend plus a nasty headcold that is still hanging on. I went out for a run today, and only made it through about two miles before everything hurt and my heartrate was screaming in Zone 15. That’s okay. Tomorrow, I will spin and just start this […]
Du Not
Ok. I am out. O-U-T for the duathlon. This head and chest cold has made running impossible this morning, and I do not want to bonk out completely on Sunday and fall into the land of discouragement. Plus, last night when I was laying out my gear for running, I could not find my Garmin watch. […]
A Little Off Topic But….
Just a little more on my mission to discourage law school.

This weekend was my son’s third birthday. I knew it was bound to be full of excitement, and Momma needed a good workout before the festivities commenced. I set my alarm for the crack of dawn, ready for an early morning spin class with Ironman G on Friday. I rolled over, looked at the clock […]
Rarity
This is a picture of me beating someone running. Rare and precious. But it’s proof that I actually did not finish this stage last.
Humility
I said it once, and I’ll say it again. The best advice I have stumbled upon regarding my triathlon dream is: do not worry about how bad/fat/silly you look while doing it. Man. I received the link to the professional photos from last weekend’s triathlon. The sheer sight of me in the run to bike transition is almost […]
These Hips Are Made for Ouching
Post-tri joints and muscles. Holy cow. Everything hurts. So I Googled “post-race workouts” and found a bunch of message boards about how a “sprint tri is like a light workout” and therefore, “you should not need a post-race special workout.” Oh, and my favorite was posted by a guy who said that he did a […]
My First Tri
Today was my first sprint triathlon. The Douglasville Last Chance Triathlon was a Run-Bike-Pool Swim format, so it was a good starter tri. I woke up with sore knees and a gimpy feeling left hip, but I ignored the twinges completely, did some crazy affirmations about sound mind, sound body and by the time I arrived in Douglasville, nothing hurt. I […]
