Okie Dokie. Well – I have definitely discovered that I can do one thing a week other than train, eat, keep my husband happy, and sleep. I have had some work this past couple of weeks, plus have picked up on my marketing efforts – no chance to write here at all. I guess it’s all […]

Saturday With The Team: Life v Iron
Yesterday was a lot of fun. Iron Mel and I met at the Larkspur Ferry, then drove into the city to meet the Team down at Sports Basement on the water. Our main workout “set” was to do 90 minutes of running at our VDOT paces – or at least “moving on our feet” for 90 […]
Who Was Yasso, Anyway?
So, this is the note that we got from Run Coach Simon about the workout that I just finished: There IS a marker on your schedule for tomorrow. I thought I’d send out a quick explanation because it might not completely make sense on the spreadsheet. First, if you’re feeling sore tomorrow, feel free to […]
Olympic Distance Triathlon – Check!
Yesterday was the Louie Bonpua Memorial Triathlon – named for a TNT athlete who succumbed to cancer, as I understand it, about 9 years ago. H and Dad were volunteering – well – DAD was volunteering. H was “volunteered” by me, and he was not all that happy about it. It started about a week out, […]
Hey Cupcake!
Sunday the 10th was a Mentor Run. Mentor Margaret set it up in her town of Napa, and we ran between all the cupcake stores! Jake and Herbert came with me to the run. Our “merry band” included Coaches Jen Jay, Sedonia, Helen, Mentor Margaret, Tiffany and me. Coach Helen mentioned that she hadn’t been […]
Week Update
OK, so I totally suck at keeping track of mileage. I managed for all of ONE post (last one). So Be It! This is the Wednesday-Thursday-Friday post, then Saturday will have its own, and Sunday too! I’m catching all this up on Monday – the blessed REST day. Hallelujah! Wednesday was my pole dancing class, […]
The First Full IronTeam Workout in 2010
Sunday Morning and it was time for IronTeam Training! Met Iron Mel at the Larkspur Ferry at 6:30AM. Thank goodness I had blogged about the workout – I somehow had thought it was Saturday (which was the Bike Marker) – and Mentor Margaret saw my post and let me know that being at the Ferry […]
Holiday Week – A Bit Behind on the Diary
‘Tis the season and all that – which basically means something had to “give” and that something was posting on the blog. Not the training, I’m happy to say! This week, after the aborted Bike Ride (see previous post), we had Monday off, then Tuesday was an hour of Progressive Load training on the bike […]
Today’s Workout
Today, back to a far-away world in the East Bay (or as Iron Mel calls it, “unPleasant Hill,”) to work out with the IronTeam. We started out doing a Run workout – warm up for 10 minutes, and then we did 800s. The way it worked was that you were matched up with 2 other […]
Short Run and Playlist
Today was a “short” run (40 minutes). I’m still concerned when I read I was supposed to get about 5.0 miles, and I actually got 2.6. That makes me 1/2 as fast as I should be. H actually wants to map out the “cut off” (or “chip”) times for the Louisville Ironman, so that I […]
