"I Can, I Will and Kiss My Ass"
A new mantra? Definitely! Credit given to an awesome triathlete: check out this inspiring read from one of my favorite websites, No Meat Athlete. Today is Friday. Yaaay, people! I had a great 3/4 mile swim yesterday in the YMCA pool, in just under 35 minutes. Just what I needed to know that I can make […]
The Mystery of Weightloss
Excellent in-house spin workout last night. The Expert ran four miles on the treadmill and I cycled, all out, for an hour and twenty minutes while watching Ironman 2010 and listening to T.I., Eminem, and Nelly. 890 calorie burn, according to my trusty Garmin. It may seem stupid to own two road bikes, two mountain bikes, a […]
Snowed In
Lots of snow. Snow day. Lots of time to blow off a workout. However, it didn’t happen. The Expert and I rode on our indoor bikes and listened to some loud music, and accomplished a workout. One week down. Fifteen weeks to St. Anthony’s. And I have an appointment with the chiropractor on Wednesday. And […]

Three Gyms
The Expert and I are members of three gyms. Yes. Three. And yet, we are horrifically out of shape. Go figure. But here’s the key. I have a great athletic club near my work (where Ironwoman S and Ironman G exist); the Expert has a club in Athens, and now we have a club near […]
The Expert Knows
The Expert got his name for a reason. I love him. Dearly. But he is the biggest know-it-all in the world. So he has officially decided to join me in the triathlon journey. He’s on board. And seriously on board. Logging calories, stretching, planning workouts, getting the gear. And that cooperative/supportive spirit, most would say, is […]
Running Anyway
Day seven of my resolution revolution. A little hitch with visitors over the New Year’s holiday as far as my diet goes, but I managed to work out a little. Killer spinning classes on Friday and yesterday knocked my socks off. And I am supposed to lay off the running because of the hip. Running respites make me lazy for […]
