What?!
Coach Monster put 8 miles on my run schedule for tomorrow. Which begs the questions:1) WHO (surely he didn’t mean me running 8 miles tomorrow….)2) WHAT?!?!3) WHEN am I going to find that “extra” two hours to run (yes, it will take me at least 2 hours…I’m slow, people… where have you been?); and4) WHERE exactly will I […]
Accountability
As I wind down from a long Memorial Day weekend, Savannah style – full of shrimp, beer and laughs – I need a giant whip to crack over my head in the morning. I am packing my gym bag for a swim/run in the morning, and I am dragging lead weights behind me. I am […]
Super Cool
Again. Just in case anyone thinks I blog to make myself look “super cool”, well, here’s another little adventure in Swim Bike Klutz. Leaving an awesome, sweat-busting spin class this morning… I was wearing flip-flops…. and managed to slip on a puddle of someone else’s sweat. I landed flat on my ass, spewing water bottles, Shimanos […]
Bothersome Happiness
I am pretty happy these days. And I love the fact that my happiness actually bothers some people. Maybe I come off cocky or self-indulgent. Okay, I can see that. Maybe at first read. But… as I have said 100,000 times – I don’t write this stuff to make people like me, or to make myself look […]
I Ate Run for Lunch
So I have officially been back on the training wagon for two (for real) days. Coach Monster has given me the rest of this week to figure myself out, and then I can hear the whip cracking in the distance. Of course, Memorial Day weekend will sure to derail a few days of it […]
Crazy-Girl-I-Am
So today I sent Coach Monster an email asking for a few days to compose myself. When I saw the schedule and the 70.3 training commencing at 5:30am today, I chickened out. Fear is starting to creep-a-leep. I can’t seem to get back into the swing of things. Oh, that… and the fact, my brain […]
Cruising Back Into Training
So I have returned from the New Kids on the Block cruise-a-palooza 2011. What an incredible hoot. I could not have asked for a more fabulous, hilarious, fun time. And the ladies? They loved the Expert. All I heard: “OMG, what an amaaaaaaazing husband to come on this cruise!” Yeah yeah. Okay… he’s pretty amazing. As […]

Operation: Do Not Get as Big as Boat
So, I started this new job (love). But I am all off kilter with routine and schedule, I don’t know which way is up. And workout? Today? Nope. Boo. The simple fact that I drive to a new office is throwing me for clumsy loops. Not surprising. I am Swim Bike Klutz, afterall. The Expert […]
