The weekend was a great training weekend.
Saturday morning was lap-swimming with a friend of mine. She hasn’t been to the pool in about 7 months (pregnancy and having her little baby). We both swam a mile and started the weekend feeling great. Getting the workout done early in the morning always sets the [...]

Training as usual.
Sunday was an early morning run through the neighborhood with Super Husband. I thought my legs would be tired after the cycling Saturday – but it wasn’t that bad. We only went 4 miles since it was actually warm – too warm! I think we were expecting cooler temps (oops) [...]

Training goes on like clockwork.
Thursday while Super Husband worked I tried my new yoga dvd (it is good – definitely had me working different muscles than my other yoga dvd) and then hopped on the trainer and cranked out 10 miles. It was a good, quiet evening. The yoga/cycling combination felt pretty good [...]

I sent in my half-ironman distance registration today. Somehow everything always seems official once the forms get signed!

Danskin finally released info regarding the Danskin Womens Triathlon in the Los Angeles area.
DISNEYLAND!That’s right – I will be racing at the home of the Big Cheese himself. Danskin moved the LA location from San Dimas to Disneyland. It’s a bit shorter than last year (.35m swim / 10m bike / 2.5 mile run) [...]

The past few days have been filled with training – the “usual” sessions.
Thursday was a yoga session while Super Husband worked the evening / night shift. Yoga felt great after the biking and running from days earlier. I am going to try to slip in yoga each week. Sometimes I get so [...]
Going the Extra Mile

After Saturday’s Half Century ride, I took very little time “off”. I jumped right back into training.
Sunday was a small run around the neighborhood. It was our “small loop” of 3.5 miles and it was definitely tough on my legs after the ride. However, it felt good to stretch out the legs and [...]

Super Husband and I arrived back home late Saturday afternoon after a great weekend.
Friday: I left work after half day and we drove north to Santa Barbara. We left LA in the rear view mirror and entered bluer skies, fresher air, and majestic bluffs along the coast.
We checked into our North Santa Barbara [...]

Sunday: Had wonderful downtime doing Yoga and a great long walk through the neighborhood. After all the falls and scrapes – my body was hurting a little. The yoga really made me feel relaxed and loose. The walk was simply beautiful – it reminded us of late spring / early summer in the midwest. The lilacs [...]
Scrapes, Slips, Splats….Spielberg?

Last night was a successful 5.5 mile run with Super Husband. We did our usual loop through the neighborhood. It was later in the evening and a bit on the chilly side. However, ending a work week with a well-done run felt great.
Maybe the running Gods and Goddesses were having a good laugh at my [...]
