“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 […]
Sick Sick Sick
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
CouchPotatoWoman to IronWoman at the Louisville Ironman 2010
Yes, I have finally put mouth to microphone to podcast about what’s been going on for the last month – namely, my Quest to be an Ironwoman in 2010! It all started with Tony Robbins’ Unleash The Power Within…but if you want to hear more, I guess you should take a listen! As promised, CLICK […]
Short Run and Playlist
Today was a “short” run (40 minutes). I’m still concerned when I read I was supposed to get about 5.0 miles, and I actually got 2.6. That makes me 1/2 as fast as I should be. H actually wants to map out the “cut off” (or “chip”) times for the Louisville Ironman, so that I […]
