Okay, SO! I’ve discovered (duh) that the deal with me is that I get all “beat up on myself” when I haven’t been able to get out there and work out. Which is REALLY ridiculous to even TYPE (for me) since I (as per my last blog post) really AM the girl who had her […]

April 1 (Day 208) – feeling kinda low . . .
So, as you (the mythical you, since “you” really means “me”) can see, I haven’t blogged in a while. I find that I’m often spinning plates – and then all the plates crash to the ground. H calls me a “gadget freak” and that’s somewhat true. Have you seen the movie Tin Cup? In it, […]
March 19 (Day 195) – what a week I had . . .
It’s been a week since I wrote – wow! That’s crazy. So what happened in this past week? Well – 14.3 was announced – Deadlifts and Box Jumps. That was right in my wheelhouse. I quite like Deadlifts. Why? Because they don’t involve squatting! And the box jumps could be step ups, so I was […]
March 12 (day 188) – Welcome to Tabata…Are you ready…? 3-2-1-GO!
SOME day, I’m going to have to re-do my Categories . . . not looking forward to that! (I am trying to file these posts under Categories, but some are nested under others . . . oy. Never mind) Anyway – so today I decided to do 3 of the 4 GiveIt100.com workouts I’m doing […]
AmericanGut.org
I was listening to the America’s Test Kitchen Radio yesterday, and I heard of a project that I think the word must be spread about. It’s AmericanGut.org. What’s it about? From their website: “The Human Microbiome Project and other microbiome projects worldwide have laid an important foundation for understanding the trillions of microbes that inhabits […]
Amazing Race tips from 24-3
Amazing Race tips from 24-3! 1. One team (guy and girl) the girl is only wearing a Camelbak, the guy has the pack. We’ve discussed having one pack – that’s an even better idea. 2. The cowboy rappelled down the waterfall, and was only looking one direction, so missed the clue! Look both ways! (Wonder […]
March 11 (day 187) – I’ve caught the evil BaselVirus
I think I mentioned that Sunday I got up at 0-dark-00 to help the LLS Team In Training tribabies on their first Open Water triathlon. It was “Spring Forward” day, and my husband just laughed himself silly that I was getting up so early, as he snuggled himself back down in bed… The current was […]
Another GiveIt100 – this time, Tabatas
I have 3 “GiveIt100.com” projects going. I’ve talked about this a lot – it’s a free website where you post 10 seconds of you doing whatever it is that you decide to do as a project, every day for 100 or 365 days. When you get to 100 (or 365) you get to post a […]
March 10 (day 186) – a restart (sort of)
My TAR buddy Moddie and I worked yesterday supporting the LLS Team In Training Tri team in their first open water tri. Go Team! The current was SO STRONG in Paradise Park that I wasn’t even able to stay on top of the surf board. Holy cats. I tried, but I couldn’t paddle in place […]
PODCASTS!
I wonder if this is going to work. Starting back in like . . . OMG 2008 . . . I had a number of podcasts related to my book – then podcasting fell to the wayside for a while. I think my last podcast was in around 2010. I’d like to get them back […]
