NOT Training for anything?

Hi folks! Update from me….Virginia….This morning I did NOT go to the gym…or run…or bike…or anything. I had all of my stuff out to go in for a swim, but I didn’t get up and do it. I knew last night that there was only a 50/50 shot that I would drag my bum out […]

The Augusta Report!

Hi world! Virginia here with my Augusta 70.3 update! (AND IT IS LONG) First, let me say that it was AWESOME to get to see so many SBM folks out there. Meredith certainly has established her “army,” and I am so pleased to be a part of it. Before I get into the details of […]

The early itch…

Hi guys! Virginia here. After my first HIM in May of this year, I really experienced the ITCH to register for something new. What’s next? I stalled a bit until I finally put down the money for Augusta. Since that point, training has gone well. WELL….AUGUSTA is this weekend, and I have the ITCH already! […]

Questions that I have decided NOT to ask…

Virginia here! I have come up with what I believe is a very important list. I would love to hear some of your additions to this list. Questions that I have decided NOT to ask during the Augusta 70.3 Can I have fries with that? Where can I charge my iPod? How many alligators have […]

That doesn’t mean things are perfect, but they have “clicked.” I get a daily running quote to my phone. Sometimes it is stupid, but sometimes it is RIGHT ON and just what I […]

My Super Power: The NO SLEEP Triathlete!

Enough is Enough!

Hi folks! Virginia here, and I am feeling a little “deep” today. My family returned from 6 days in the mountains last night. During that time it rained almost constantly. Because of that, I really got off of my 70.3 “plan” and mainly just ran. I wasn’t really feeling cycling or swimming in rain and […]

You know you are a triathlon nerd when……

Hi folks! Virginia here. I decided this week that I am a triathlon nerd. I guess I could say that I am preoccupied or consumed by triathlon, but I think calling myself a nerd sounds better. So, I am asking you to fill in the rest of this sentence by posting your own response. You […]

Kids CAN Run! (bike & swim…too)

Hi all! Virginia here. The title of this post is KIDS CAN RUN, and if you have read this blog, you know that my kids certainly run. However, over the last year or so many people have made comments to me about running not being healthy for kids. Hmmmm? Really? I heard that twice this […]
