The past couple weeks I’ve been a bit worn-out…but that hasn’t stopped the white lilacs from blooming. It is quite the wonderful feeling – when spring arrives!
Ever since I moved to west coast, one thing triggers “Spring is here!”. That is the smell of white lilacs… I realize for many, it’s still the dead of [...]

A “Fit” Weekend
Posted in Life on February 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The weekend started with a great swim Friday night. I was a bit tired after a tough week – but I ended with 3150m.
The real news is Super Husband bringing home a new set of wheels…a brand new Honda Fit. It’s fantastic – and we love it. Congrats, Super Husband – enjoy [...]
Getting “Sick” of This
Posted in Training on February 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Ever since last week, I have felt a bit run-down. I am still getting in some workouts – but they are definitely shorter this week.
Monday Super Husband and I cranked out the “Redemption Run” – after I failed miserably at the 5.5 distance Sunday. Monday we accomplished it – it felt good to get [...]
Gotta Know When to Hold ‘em, Know When to Fold ‘em

Know when to walk away….know when to run.
Friday night was a successful master swim class. I took it easy, careful to not over-work my right shoulder. I cranked out 2800 yards (56 laps) in 1:28. It felt good to get more laps finished than I anticipated. My goal for the evening [...]
Slower Week

This week has been a bit….tiring. I wasn’t feeling the greatest in the beginning of the week so I missed Monday’s swim. I did, however, still squeeze in some training sessions this week. They were definitely shorter than I preferred – but I remember hearing “if you’re tired – take it easy!” and “if you’re [...]
I’m a Brick House

Today: BRICK DAY! The day started with sleeping in… yes, we awoke around 8:30 for a change. Ah, the luxury of time!
After sipping coffee as I balanced my accounts, we ran several errands. The day began successfully and continued to be so. Super Husband and I were on a roll.
We decided to check out Honda [...]
I Tri for the Pie

Yesterday and today were great training sessions. I am in the “I feel strong” phase – I feel it mentally and physically. I hope it continues!
Last night after work I climbed aboard the trainer, put in the movie “40 Year Old Virgin” and pedaled for 2 hours. I went at a slow, comfortable pace – [...]
The Great Pyramid

After Sunday’s Surf City Half Marathon, I took Monday as a well earned “rest day”. Super Husband and I even splurged on some Chinese food and called it an evening.
Yesterday was a cycling workout – 20 miles. Not anything earth-shattering but it felt good to stretch the legs and keep them moving. Super Husband was [...]
Soak City Marathon

Super Husband and I ran a successful Half Marathon today. The race was Surf City Marathon (we completed the Half) – and we nicknamed it Soak City since we awoke to rain, flooding, and gale force winds. Shortly after 4 a.m., we awoke and realized with the rain, we needed to reassess our clothing for the [...]
Deja Vu

Today Super Husband and I made our way south to Huntington Beach to pick up our race bibs and chips. It’s a bit breezy today – overcast and mild. Tomorrow may actually rain – but the skies are quite perfect for a run. I hope it stays this way.
Admittedly, when we signed in – we [...]
