Togetherness
After putting the kids down last night, the Expert and I rode side by side on our respective spin bike and trainer. He dusted off his road bike and hooked it up, and I tried out the new ProForm bike, which was part of my Christmas. I jammed some Eminem and he watched Star Wars II, […]
Merry Get Moving
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and to be my first workout in about four weeks. I am so ready to get back in the saddle (literally) and moving. I’ve managed to eat junk and sit like a slug for the better part of December, and that’s done me no good physically or mentally. Not sure if […]

Lazy Pet Rocks
I am astounded at lazy people. Not laziness. I am quite fond of long bouts of laziness. I’m talking about inherently lazy, won’t-go-out-of-their-way-without-being-talked-to kind of people. Bare minimum to get the job done types. People who never see beyond the current task, and who do not care to. No initiative, just excuses. These people crawl me […]
A Lump of… Something

Mad
I haven’t blogged in a while about my adventures in triathlon training because I am mad. I am mad that I am injured, and I am mad that I can’t run. At the same time, I had lasagna for dinner and breakfast this morning, and plan to have it for lunch too – so that’s […]
Good Things
Good things! 1) My MRI showed that my hip has a contusion/hemotoma/edema (e.g., a bruised, but not fractured, bone with fluid ands weeling) in two places. (This is not the good news). The doctor repeatedly asked me, “Have you fallen recently? Are you sure?” And I was thinking, “no no,” totally forgetting my embarrassing wipeout at the […]
St. Anthony’s
Not ready to give up yet from the old lady hip, I registered for St. Anthony’s Triathlon in May. And I registered the Expert, too. Which is awesome. One mile swim, 24 mile bike, 10K (6 mile) run. Is it possible? The funny thing about the registration for St. Anthony’s was the categories of racers. When […]
