I am SO DONE being sick! H finally convinced me to go to the doctor – I have an appointment at 4:00. The last exercise I did was a couple days ago – I did the bike trainer workout, but I just couldn’t face the pool, and it was kinda downhill from there. Margaret (my […]

What We Are Doing This For: Hank The Vineman Marshall
I was really sad that I couldn’t stay to meet our Honorees at the Sunday workout. I am really looking forward to it. But we received the following email from Sedonia (our swim coach) today, and this made me so sad…and determined at the same time. Take a read: Hey Team, If anyone is yearning […]
I forgot! My favorite story from yesterday!
Thank goodness I send myself little cryptic notes on email! In my “update” on the last post, I forgot my FAVORITE thing that happened yesterday! After I left the Team Training, I called H and he asked if I’d like him to take me out for my “Second Breakfast” (yes, me and the hobbits). I […]
I hate being sick…
…ick, ick, ick. Have been fighting a cold now since about Wednesday – H brought it home (bad husband!) and it finally ‘caught hold’ this weekend. On my last post, I mentioned that I was supposed to do a Bike/Run and then realized I had misgauged my time – which meant I took Thursday off […]
Swim and Run, Bike and Run
Yesterday was a Swim and Run – 1750 yard Swim, then 10 minute “jog” and 30 minute “run easy.” The swim was pretty fun – I really like that pool. It’s frustrating because I still take SO many strokes to get across the pool, though I feel confident. I know it’s because I don’t kick. […]
Short Post: Swim and Sick (Ick)
Yesterday I just felt punk most of the day and then last night I wound up in bed, speaking with a client, shivering with my laptop on my lap! Oy! By about 4:00 a.m. I had lymph nodes like golf balls – but I explained to my body that HEALTH was where it was at […]
Bike Marker Set Sunday: Riding in a Bike Gang (Whirrr…Click!) – being “Out Of The Money” – Mom Tries to Kill Me
Sunday Iron Mel and I met the local “gang” at Nicasio for a Bike Marker Set. Our Mentor Margaret, Les the Marin Bike Coach, Jen, and one of Les’s friends, Mel and I did the set together. (The photo to the right is Iron Mel – on the left – and Mentor Margaret – on […]
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 […]
Comparison: Last Swim Marker Set to this New One
So, this is what I got from Sedonia, the swim coach, last night (after I sent her my crazy math…and asked if my time sucked & if I did the math right): Ok so now that we have established that you don’t suck…and now that I’ve had time to crunch out those numbers here goes the […]
New Playlist from Da Snipah (and 1st Swim Marker Set time)
Today is a “Swim Marker Set” – we have to warm up, do a few drills, then swim 800 yards continuously at “race pace” and report our time back to our coaches. I’m off to do it in about 10 minutes. Last night I received a CD of Toonz from my BFF Melissa Horwitz (a/k/a […]
