limbo
I’m in limbo. And I don’t mean in the fun, woooohooo luau kind of way. Although, this looks about like me. Obviously and completely missing the mark. How can I be two weeks out of a huge accomplishment and feel like I am worthless? Seriously. I am the most whiny child in the world. Chock […]

70.3 Training Again
I set out to run 5 miles this morning, determined to start on the 70.3 Part II training with a fiery vengeance. The Expert and I are setting big goals for New Orleans. My Goal: Finish in 6:30:00. Yes, that is correct. I am attempting to shave 45 minutes off my Miami time. (Which will most […]
How to Blog: Part I
I’ve received lots of email lately about how to blog. For starters, really, I have no idea how to blog, so I am probably not in a position to dole out advice. (Not like that has stopped me before). And I have limited HTML skills. I’m not sure if you want to take my advice. But […]
Devil on Your Back
Coach Monster always reminds me: keep moving forward, before bad habits have a chance to root and gain momentum. Well. My bad habits are beyond rooting. [Case in point: wine habit….coupled with Instagram habit.] Rooting isn’t at issue. My bad habits have already turned into a flowering, couch potato plant. The pre-race taper, coupled with the […]
Fix Your Life Fridays
So SBM is starting a fun little gig. [At least, it’s supposed to be fun.] I always have questions about how to juggle triathlon with full-time job, kids, craziness, how to get out of a rut, what to do about issues at work, why I feel completely ineffective in my ability to communicate, why I […]
Whoop, There It Is
So I did this ridiculously long race, got the link to all my hideous race photo… but OMG… where were all of my thumbs up pictures? Oh, well, I did a little search-a-roo in the “lost and found” pics, and looky what I found. Woo hoo! I feel whole again. There are no words.

You and Me Have a Disease
And it’s called RRCD. Race Registration Compulsion Disorder. Disclaimer: RRCD is a serious, dream-like condition. You may easily contract RRCD from rubbing up against a spin class full of triathletes, going to a sprint tri and crossing that finish line for the first time, or watching the Ironman World Championships on NBC. RRCD has been known […]
