Swim. Bike. Poop.
So I received this email yesterday. And my heart has been pounding ever since. Seriously. I think about the race. Boom Boom Boom. Then I get clammy. Bye bye, Beast. The Beast is clammy. Then all day I have felt like I’m going to pants my poop… so I run to the bathroom at work, only to find someone […]
100 Miles and a Prayer (and a Gross Picture)
Tomorrow I’m riding in my first CENTURY ride with my dear triathlon pal, Yoda. (That’s 100 miles, people… just in case you weren’t paying attention. Oh lawd.) I love riding with Yoda. Yoda, who conveniently sent me this graphic the other day via text. Right she is. Train I must! I have never […]
Spinning Etiquette: Part Deux
Apparently, all the people in my “other” gym spinning class this morning did not read my last post about Spinning Etiquette, so I think warrants a little link to the last post, and a continuation of the same. Now, I wasn’t in the greatest place this morning. My hip hurts, I didn’t sleep well, and I […]
How to Quit Drinking
I love this classic post by Brad Bollenbach from his personal development blog called “How to Quit Drinking Alcohol.” He provides the reader with a great listing of practical tips about abstaining from alcohol. Easy, sensible and brilliant stuff. Love it. However. I think the author left off one VERY important way to quit drinking alcohol. Now, I love beer. And wine. […]
Friday Fanny
This is the post where my mother gasps and shakes her head and mutters, What a wasted education… why can’t she just be a lawyer and stop all this nonsense…. Who’s rear end is this?? Yes, this is MY rear end. Okay, so why am I posting a picture of the junk in my trunk? […]
Wednesday Wisdom: Diet Derailleurs
Beware the diet deraillieurs. (Oh, you like the bike humor.) Yes. Diet busters lurk all over the place. But really, what is the biggest diet buster of all? Here are the clues: sweet, but not chocolate pint sized, but not ice cream delicious, but not edible [Insert scary music here] The biggest diet derailleurs are…. ….children. […]
Red Top Roaster
I woke up at 5:45 this morning and headed to Cartersville, Georgia for the 1st Annual Red Top Roaster Trail Run. The race featured a 5k event, and a 15k event. Being the idiot that I am, I thought 15k sounded fun. Well, not really. My dear Coach Monster said it would be good fun. Maybe […]
Zooooooom (That was Fast!)
Hit the pool early this morning for a fifty minute continuous swim workout. I decide to push as hard as I could stand and put down a 2 mile swim (3250 meters). I finished in just under fifty-seven minutes, hitting the one mile right at thirty minutes. Obviously, I picked up the pace on the […]
Naked Co-Workers
Potentially awkward naked moment happened to me today. In my weightlifting days, I always changed clothes in front of people. Everyone did. But turns out in the “real” world, outside of competitive sports, not many people drop clothes in front of others in the locker rooms. “Normal” people apparently don’t appreciate it. So, I […]
