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 […]

Heeeeeere Piggie Piggie Piggie…
Saturday (January 9th) ended our 9th week of Iron Training. We were back out to Pleasant Hill, this time for a Bike, Swim and Core/Strength Day. I was minus my trusty Navigatrix Iron Mel, as she was sick (get well quick, Mel!) On the way, the sunrise was amazing . . . so amazing that […]
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, […]
Swim’N’Run
Just a quick post – today did a 2350 yard swim, and a 4 mile (1 hour) run. A few of my IronTeam members are keeping track of their “mileage” – I didn’t think to start that, but I am going to try to remember to post the mileage when I sign in. The Swim […]

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 […]
A few thoughts and catch-ups…new bike marker set; 3 flats in a row; etc.
“Happiness is nothing more than Health and a Poor Memory.” I haven’t blogged in a while, so I think I will start with today and go backwards/ through my Tweetlog: Today we had a Bike Marker set. We did it on the same course as last time – though this time, we marked out the […]
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 […]
Episode 19: The Spirit Cape Speaks, a couple of Tune Snippets, and my current favorite quote.

Happy holidays, and be sure to check out the blog for some photos. As promised, CLICK HERE for the link to my donation page – remember, all Donors […]
Spirit Cape Photographs
Here are some photographs of the spirit cape – and also of me wringing out my bike gloves, after the 30 mile bike ride that we had to “abort” at 18 miles, when it was PELTING down with rain! (The photo below is me mugging it up after receiving the cape during our bike training […]
