My BFF Sue has allowed me to share her email to me with respect to “helping me” through Ironman.com on the day of the Ironman. I just love this story, don’t want to “lose” it, so thought I’d post it here for you to enjoy, too. Camilla is her roommate (who is a masseuse/reiki healer). […]

Susan Bird and WayOfTheWhale.com
If you have been reading this blog (or listened to my podcasts), you know that I utilize Susan Bird for hypnotherapy/higher potential work. Sue gave a Workshop, in fact, for some of my Ironman compatriots who wanted to work on various things, from still having a fear of open water swimming, to goal manifestation. I […]
Lessons Learned On My Ironman Journey (Ironman Louisville Finisher Race Report)
At about Mile 20 of the Marathon – when it seemed very unlikely I would make the finish line by the 17 hour cutoff, I started writing this blog post in my head. At that time, it was entitled “No Regrets…but No Ironman.” Wonder of wonders…I made it. I am writing this post first – […]
kaishuu…and Jodi’s Ironman Experience
I just love that this was my “Japanese language word of the day” the day after the Ironman! It means ‘Collection, Recovery, and Withdrawal.

Run…Swim…Taper…
Saturday I tentatively tried training again. Shoulder and side are seriously sore still – but I thought I’d better give it a go. Serious props to Traumeel though! Traumeel is a homeopathic remedy with arnica and other assorted herbs and things in it. There are drops, and a cream. I applied the cream on the […]
Why We Do This: “Gramoo”
I recently joined “Team Beef” on the Louisville Ironman. (Yes, for me, Beef…it’s what’s for dinner!) They actually have a “Team Beef” jersey, but I mentioned to the Marketing Director Alison Smith that I would be wearing my Flames jersey for Team In Training/Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. She wrote back: “I am excited to see […]

My new Ironman Song (courtesy of Steve Reagan)
First of all, I should say – I’m healing. After biofeedback, chiropractic, massage, acupuncture (oh, and Vicodin from the allopathic docs), I am feeling better but not great. I haven’t done anything at all, except eat like a rock star for the past week. I think that’s what I must do when I get depressed […]
It only hurts when I breathe…
So, I guess that I wanted to have an eventful taper. Was slated to do a 45 mile “rolling hills” ride with H yesterday. We went out from home and up and over Camino Alto – the idea was to do it at race pace/heart rate, but H wanted to check out some nurseries along […]
