I Must Scurry.
I am enjoying recovery day. Last night, I did email Coach Monster about whether or not I should succumb to the 9.3 mile torture that is sure to ensue this weekend at the Red Top Roaster trail run. The convo went something like this:Me: Saturday’s run is a 9.3 trail run […]
Waterlogged
3500m in the pool tonight. Even though I am now showered, in jammies, and staring longingly at the nightnight room, I think someone could pick me up and wring water out of me. (If someone can actually pick me up and wring me out, then I might really be on to something – something truly marketable…) […]

Super Sunday
Today. Was. Awesome. 1) My girl, Charlie, finished her first 70.3! And not only, that – she smoked it. Look for her race report soon! Go, Charlie! 2) I met one of my super de duper Swim Bike Mom friends at Silver Comet today during a ride. Funny thing is that we’ve never met […]

Friday Fun Things
Friday Fun Things: 1) I went to Arby’s this morning after spin (I know, bad… short on time, short on patience). I tried to order something reasonable. Plain wrap with egg, coffee. (Yes, non-vegan, I know). So I order that. Plain. I ask if they have salsa (they do not, FYI). So what comes to […]
