I don’t want to jinx myself…but I feel like I’m taking the first steps towards making a comeback! Over the course of the last 9 days I’ve logged a total of 31 miles cycling and walking. That’s almost half of my total mileage for the whole month of June! Sunday-15th: Walk 2 miles Monday-16th: Walk 2 miles Tuesday-17th: Rest Wednesday-18th:…read more →
Yeah, yeah…I’m fully aware I’m about 37 days late with this post…But I just couldn’t leave everyone hanging, could I? Before we jump into the recap, I should remind you that I differentiate between “Goals” and “Resolutions” because I think the two are…well…different: Goal = a specific task/event you work towards, accomplish & cross off your list. Resolution = a…read more →
This weekend I ran the 1Day Relay – a 50ish mile relay from Bradenton to Venice, FL – as part of the Blogging Bombshell team with Mary, Callie, Casey, Colleen and Courtney. We knew going into it that Blogging Bombshells was made up of runners with varying abilities, and (I think) it worked out wonderfully! Our fastest runners took the…read more →
I’ve had a breakthrough: Swimming is MUCH more enjoyable when I plan a workout instead of just picking a distance & swimming. Yes, I may or may not be an idiot for needing 18 months to figure that out…but at least I figured it out eventually… I arrived to a super full pool thanks to swim lessons going on –…read more →
YOWZA – How on Earth is it already WEDNESDAY EVENING? I guess time flies when you’re having fun…or when you’re running around like a chicken with you head cut off between work, triathlon training and life! So did we all have a happy 4th of July? (Or regular old weekend if you’re not from the US?) Diggity and I had…read more →
This week was one of the most stressful weeks I’ve had at work in a loooong time. I have the tendency to internalize problems that my clients are having – and I’m fully aware that isn’t always a good thing. Don’t get me wrong – I am always concerned for my clients and work hard to ensure things are running…read more →
On Sunday I swam one of my most difficult swims yet…and this was after a horrible swim on Friday. I was at the beach with Tam & KB. It was wavy. And I was tired. Super tired – I had run 4 miles right before the swim. It was such a bad swim I didn’t even take a picture of…read more →
Warning: There are NO pictures in this post! (Gasp!) I have been practicing yoga once a week since January 1st of this year. For some, once a week really isn’t much. But for me, that was a whole lot – considering I would only occasionally practice, like once a month or less, before then. I know that I have seen…read more →
I know I’m not the only one that feels that way – but can you effing BELIEVE it’s JUNE already? This year is definitely flying by – and that means it’s high time to check in on how I’m doing with my 2011 Goals and Resolutions! As a quick reminder, I differentiate between “Goals” and “Resolutions” because I think the…read more →
Wait…I mean “SUCK IT IN!” That’s still not right…how about “HOLD IT IN” Dang…not it yet…”HOLD IN YOUR STOMACH”…nah, still off somehow… “ENGAGE YOUR CORE” <—-That’s your core Finally! That’s what I was trying to say! “Engage your core.” Sounds simple, right? (I wish!) Those three words have been running through my mind pretty much constantly since I took my…read more →
