43 Pounds
I joined Daily Mile about a year ago. I just logged in to my account to add my spin mileage from today, and I saw this: LIFETIME STATS: 314 hours 3,117 total miles / 1485 in 2012 269 workouts AND…. 43 pounds burned. What in the…. 43 pounds burned?? For-for-forty three!!? I heard an explosion. It […]
My First Tri: What in the &#^! Do I Wear?
I am proud to have provided triathlon suits for women in sizes XS to 4XL for over five years through Tri*Fe… Tri*Fe closed its online store in December of 2018. Thanks for a great run everyone! Starting out, the biggest triathlon clothing mystery is Race Day Clothing (insert scary music here!). What in the world […]
Not a Bad Ride!
Nice 50 miler ride at Harbins Park today with SBM friend, Ansley and the Expert. This was the first time that Ansley and I have actually met, though we have chatted a few times and live only a few miles from each other. We are going to start sharing childcare on long ride days too… […]

Ten Thursday Thoughts

A Little Metric Ride
I met up with SBM friends Yoda (Karen), Elizabeth and Kimberly for the GA 400 Metric Century (61 miler) ride through all of Georgia (okay, so maybe not all of Georgia… only the hilly parts). The ride had a 9, 23, 61 and 100 mile option. This ride was a big milestone for many reasons. Of […]
Keep Calm and Hobble On.
I couldn’t believe I was back on crutches today. Ridiculous. Why oh why? Was my left foot was feeling ignored with all the attention the right foot received over Broke-Foot-a-palooza? So I decided to fall off my wedge sandal (yet again)? Only this time, using my “good” foot. Crack! Off the shoe. The fireworks that […]
