Repeat after Me…
…the bad things will not define me. The bad people will not discourage me. I swam so many laps tonight, I can’t count to three right now. I started off the swim mad as all hell from my day at work. I was absolutely fuming as I strapped my goggles to my face […]
It’s Raining Bricks
The Expert and I hit Silver Comet Trail today for a 52 miler on the bike (oooooeeeee) plus a 3 mile run (ooooooeeeee). It was raining and pretty chilly. Raining bricks. I still don’t have full length tights to wear – I usually steal his – so when we ride together, I am out of […]
Dave Ramsey, Honorary Triathlete
I had never witnessed the gospel of financial guru Dave Ramsey before today. At the gym a few months ago, I heard a gaggle of ladies talking about Ramsey and his saving graces for their finances. I was intrigued. I looked him up online after hearing the chatter. Turns out he was coming to Atlanta […]

8 Mile Revisited
What is it about 8 Miles? I hate 8. I wonder if the 8 mile marker is when normal, sane people usually say, that’s enough running. The rest of us Forrest Gumps aren’t very smart (but we know what love is). My first experience with 8 Miles was bad, so perhaps it’s a mental block. “The stomach […]
70.3 Reasons
I had a very weird day. Actually, the weird day is still going. For starters, I went to lunch across town. Turns out, Coach Monster was in the restaurant. That was cool. Not entirely coincidental since I know he goes there sometimes and I do too…and I crave the coconut soup. I walked in. I saw him. I […]
The Day I Almost Quit
So yesterday’s blog about San Diego and my super trip, was a tad on the lying side. Not anything about the San Diego trip, but the bottom part: The Expert and I put down 45 miles today on the bike at Silver Comet. I might as well have done a century, as bad as […]
Adventures in San Diego
What a ridiculously fun trip to San Diego. Nice self-refection time, but mostly, a herd of workouts and fun moments with new friends. Thursday Landed in San Diego around 10:30am. I headed to the rental car place to pick up my convertible. Yes, it’s true. I was in California. What’s a Georgia girl to do? […]
Stones and Choices
This picture was taken at Torrey Pines beach today after a hike with Coach Carrie (who interestingly solved alot of my issues. Oh yes, it’s true. I’m a sane person. No, really). I love this picture. Thousands upon thousands of smooth stones. Thousands. As far as I could see. The beauty was striking. I took […]
