Tuesday Talk Fest
So it’s Tuesday, and this is what my day started off looking like. Your first question is likely: What body part is that?? Your next question is probably: What in the world? Well, the body part would be chubby swim bike mom knees, and the what would be marks from someone who gets out of […]
Bet on the Half Mary
So Coach Monster has my “planned” time for the Savannah half-marathon this upcoming weekend as 2:15:00. I almost spit out my water when I saw that. More like 3:15:00. Then some of the Facebook group started saying, “you can do it” (no, no I can’t, but thanks for the encouragement), so we’ll do a little […]
45 Miles
The Expert has some sort of plague, so I took on the long ride by myself today. I think he’s suffering from the same Christmas Plague I had over the holidays…. Not sure about the reason for his delay though. Anyway, I thought the workout was 52 miles. I was relieved to find out that it […]
Sugar, Swimming & the Sports Bra Fail
Bert Weiss of Atlanta’s morning radio show The Bert Show tweeted me this morning and asked “does the body know the difference between ‘natural’ sugar and processed sugar”? Well, Swim Bike Mom thinks all shooga is delicious! Peanut Butter Ice Cream. Bacon. Caramel. I dream of you. But I decided to look into it a […]
No Topic Whatsoever
A little shout out and “thank you” to Terry at TriathlonTrainingSchedule.org, who put me as #63 on his top 125 Triathlon Training blogs of 2012. He must not read this blog much, though, because clearly, he would have put me lower on the list than 63. Afterall, 63 is higher than I place in most […]
Brain Bills Job Kids and Triathlon
Signing up for your first triathlon is a rush to the head, a kick to the butt… and a terrifying decision. Whether you tell no one about your race, or whether you blog about it from the get-go… that first step – the registration process – is a big move. Almost immediately after hitting the “confirm […]
Carpe Diem
The Expert is out of town. It’s midnight. I should’ve been in bed a hundred years ago. But when he’s out of town, I declare the entire house “me time” and I stay up too late. Tonight found myself reading triathlon blogs and watching videos on YouTube. I ended up on Grey’s Anatomy Season 5. […]

Happy Anniversary, Coach Monster
Dear Coach Monster, Happy Anniversary! Oh? You didn’t know? One year anniversary of me springing into your email inbox, and begging for a coach. When this journey started, back in August 2010, you were there. You had started me along my journey, without even knowing it. I had been struggling for three years after moving […]
