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 […]
Failing Doesn’t Make You A Failure, But…
…quitting makes you a quitter. So, another blog post related to the Crossfit Games. (Enough already!) This morning I couldn’t sleep, so read a blog post and responded to it. At length. Before coffee. With typos. Then I went off to do the Crossfit Games 14.2 workout. Well, not really. I went to Crossfit, was […]
14.1 v 14.2 – “I can’t do that anyway”
You know, at some point I will catch up and talk about Hawaii, post photos (including those from 14.1), etc. But right now it’s time to discuss my feelings about 14.2. Crossfit Open 14.2 involves Overhead Squats and Chest-To-Bar pullups. It doesn’t matter what the workout is – it has rounds over time, some rests, […]
