Rest & Romance
The Expert walked in last night with these. He broke our no-Valentine’s policy. But he did say, “They’re grocery store flowers. Dave Ramsey would be proud.” I hit the gym this morning for the first time since Friday, and the knee incident. Just a short swim on the books. Nice to get moving again. Very […]
Love, STRONG, and Balance
Speaking of love. I love this girl: Cheryl Haworth. She is one of my best forever buds and Olympic weightlifter extraordinarie. I knew this awesome girl before she was THE girl, and I am so proud of her. Check out this trailer for the new documentary about her: Strong. Today, also since it’s Valentine’s Day and […]
Monday…
…guess it’s been one of those days. Social is the new peanut butter: Swim Bike Mom on Facebook, Twitter, Daily Mile, and Pinterest
Recover from Injury: Day One
Day One of resting the injured knee. Fabulous day recovering from the hacking cold, icing the knee, watching Disney movies with the kids and relaxing. The relaxing consequently included a little too much peanut butter ice cream. I am staying positive, and apparently, I needed the R&R more than I realized. However tomorrow, as I […]
Paper Pants: Just What I Kneeded
I wore Paper Pants this evening. For fun. Okay, not for fun. For an orthopedic exam. I waited for two hours to see the doctor, an hour of which was wearing these Paper Pants…. ….I was bored, and I had my iPhone, and I couldn’t let myself wear Paper Pants for no real reason. […]
Perspective: Huh, Yeah. What is it Good For?
I float around most of the time on a cloud of La La. What? Yes, I mean it. La La. I am busy (aren’t we all). I work alot. I train alot. I do NOT clean my house or organize closets alot, but in actuality, I find myself fussing over laundry about 3 hours a […]
The Tough Going & Race Photos
Despite a pretty good, but emotionally and physically draining weekend, this week has been a beating. The Expert and I returned from Savannah feeling fairly refreshed. Midweek and we’ve been hit by a truck. With that 13.1 this past Saturday, I am just now able to move my legs with ease. I was surprised how […]
Chopping Down the Facebook Tree
I am kinda rolling myself back to 1998. Yes, 1998. You know the internet time of 1998. A time when the internet meant mostly dial-up, and the best you could do in social media was make a hideous webpage, or create an America Online Homepage. A time when Facebook was but a glimmer in our eyes. Today, […]
Tybee Half: Chasing a Beer and a Goodbye
(That’s a Pabst Blue Ribbon Runner. And that’s me, chasing him). My first half marathon: Tybee Island, Georgia! Okay, I’m not counting the latter third of the 70.3 as a half. So… this is my first solo half marathon. As Coach Monster says: this was a PR! Time: 2:25:57, 71 out of 98 division, 847 out […]
