12 Hours until 70.3
It’s that time. Time to go to bed and hope that all the running I will do tomorrow at Ironman Augusta 70.3… won’t take place in my head and my sleep tonight. Wonderful day. Wonderful family. Wonderful friends. But I won’t sleep until I plug the amazing Dr. Miracle Man Hands. I texted him to tell […]
Don’t Pants Your Poop.
—- When I started this post, it was 8:56 in the morning… exactly 48 hours until I jump into the cold Savannah river and FLY downstream in my second half Iron at Augusta. FLY. Zoom. All things I will be doing on Sunday. Oh wait… nope, I’m thinking of another triathlete again. What is wrong […]
A 70.3 Prayer (Round Two).
—– Dear God, Yes. So Three Days. Three days until I podium finish at Augusta 70.3…oh wait, no. That’s not me – that’s one of your other kids. You’ll still watch me, though? Right? Anyway, I am so excited about the race. The race! The celebration of the training. That is THE best way to look at […]
My Dead Butt
Apparently, Dead Butt Syndrome is a real condition. Please take a moment and reflect silently on my butt. Which is now dead. Compared to my Friday Fanny post from last year, I can concede. My above butt… does in fact… look dead when compared to my butt from last year… Holy guacamole. OMG. What happened? You ask. Your […]
Guest Post from a Swim Bike Dad
This guest post is not by the Swim Bike Dad (a/k/a the Expert)… but it is by a fellow Swim Bike Dad, Kris Dornan. Kris is an ace-kicking, fun-loving, joke playing Superman (at least in his kids’ eyes…’til they get older), he’s an ex-Peter from Family Guy (he has the picture to prove it), […]
The Taper Worm
One of my blogger friends emailed me last night, checking on my knee. Truth be told, I’m in a bit of a painful and deflated state. I’m having pretty severe knee pain, which started with hip pain, and apparently jumped to the knee. I blame the Taper Worm. The little Taper Worm booger jumped into my […]
Things I Control, Things I Don’t
Today I went to Coach Monster’s spin class. He gave me a killer pep talk, which I deeply needed in light of my body feeling held together by staples. After class, I rolled out my legs per the orders of Dr. Magic Man Hands with my new STICK. I showered, and I headed to work. I was […]
Freaking Out
My right knee hurts. To the point that I can’t run without sharp, stinging pain. I could only swim with a pull float this morning. Kicking hurts. Not just sore. Hurt. Zinging. Tearing and grinding pain. Moving my leg under my desk hurts. Going down stairs. Hurt. Pain. Noooooo. Why, oh why? 10 days until the […]
