50 Women to Kona, Mud, Social Media and Rain

Today, I endured an amazing and wet and muddy 48 miler at the Cartersville Budweiser Plant. The Expert, “You can’t be seriously going riding in this weather.” To which I said, “Yes, yes I can. Every single rainy cycling day before Ironman Coeur d’Alene? I sat on my trainer and watched the damn sun come […]

Soup to Nuts?

So Campbell’s apparently now has 33 new soups.  Hooray!  Or whatever.  🙂 I was rifling through the pantry, and found this on the Healthy Kids Chicken NoodleO’s.  (No discussion, really, on if this is really healthy soup.) But… What was even weirder to me than that  “dehydrated methnically separated chicken” and maltodextrin was the rear label. So. All of […]

One Thing Sunday

I was so glad to be outside riding today.  I had forgotten just how much I LOVE TO BE OUTSIDE ON A BIKE and not on the trainer to nowhere. I don’t mind the trainer… but outside riding?  Gah. It’s awesome.  Amen. Even if I did pop a spoke.  Oooops. And it turns out that my […]

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back…

I wrote this post about the Art of the Setback on the road to my 140.6 at Beach 2 Battleship in the fall.  It has always been “one thing after another” with me.  If I’m not falling in my driveway and breaking my feet, then I’m breaking ribs in a bike crash, or falling down […]

The Inaugural Swim Bike Mom TrainCation

We are home from the first Swim Bike Mom TrainCation event in “sunny” Florida!  And “sunny” is most definitely in quotes.  I am still trying to thaw out… Brrrrrrrrrrr. I could write about all the fun things and crazy-cold weather, but I think pictures are worth a thousand words–so I’ve included a ton of them. We […]
