“Life isn’t about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.” Vivian Green. Up again at 4:00 a.m., to get in my chosen nutrition (oatmeal with protein powder and blueberries, yerba matte, and Accellerade) and get the “system moving” before …

Wow. What a day. I can hardly even blog about it, my mind is just spinning. I guess I will start at the beginning. IronMel, Moddie the Tree Frog (wink) and I met at the Larkspur Ferry Terminal at O-dark-OO to get over to Lake De La Valle in Livermore ( …

Wow, I haven’t posted in a while. The Sunday after the swim workout with Sedonia, H and I did a 45 mile “figure 8” from Adobe Creek Golf Course, down to Sears Point Raceway, back to the Golf Course, then out Adobe Road to Penngrove, out Petaluma Hill R …

Today Iron Mel and I were off to Napa for a Private Swim Coaching with Coach Sedonia, Helen, Carol, Jen Jay, Tiff, &  Cory (did I get everyone?) We practiced reaching “over the barrel,” kicking, feeling the water, and all sorts of other nefarious t …

So, this is the note that we got from Run Coach Simon about the workout that I just finished: There IS a marker on your schedule for tomorrow.  I thought I’d send out a quick explanation because it might not completely make sense on the spreadsheet.  F …

Yesterday was the Louie Bonpua Memorial Triathlon – named for a TNT athlete who succumbed to cancer, as I understand it, about 9 years ago. H and Dad were volunteering – well – DAD was volunteering. H was “volunteered” by me, and he was not all that ha …

The workout for today is a Swim, then a Spin. Got up this morning to do the Swim early, then realized that at 7:30 a.m., the JCC would probably be teaming with folks trying to get a workout in before going to work. So I did some work – rebooting my com …

The Cupcake Girls – and Jakie of course. 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, Se …
