The past few days had some great training sessions.
After the Monday swim, the Tuesday ride…Wednesday, Super Husband and I took to a nice run through the neighborhood. It was quite warm but we persevered. We did our usual 5.5 mile run and enjoyed watching our run out-pace the cars standing still on the [...]

I Swim, I Ride, and….iPhone

The big news in this household is Super Husband has his coveted iPhone. He finally ponied up and bought one – good for him (he’s sitting next to me surfing it as I write this blog entry).
Yesterday I hit the pool after a month-plus long absence. It was good to get back in [...]
One Foot in Front of the Other…

This weekend was back to training. My recovery from the flu – much better (not perfect – but better). I found when I ran the three miles Thursday I felt much better so I thought I’d give a “long run” a shot.
Saturday morning we awoke after a wonderful ten hours of sleep. [...]
The Road to Recovery
Posted in Life, Training on July 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Well, I now understand why I was a bit tired last week…and why my head hurt so much after swimming. I caught the FLU! Yes, I was stricken with the flu and was out of commission for almost a week.
Being bed-ridden for 4-5 days is awful for a person who is used to [...]
Sink or Swim

This week – was challenging. I’m not sure why, but I hit a funk…. I feel lethargic, sluggish, and like I am a lead balloon. Yeesh!
Super Husband feels a bit sluggish as well – it may be the “dog days” of summer, not quite sure. We did put in a great 5.5 [...]
Disgust….

This incident has me FUMING!
And yes, I bike there. I biked there quite a bit with friends, co-workers and fellow LA Tri Clubbers.
Road Rage Motorist vs. Cyclists on Mandeville Canyon Road.
Pardon me while I shake my head in disgust.
The Tide is High

Today was another movement toward facing fears…I forced myself to swim in the ocean. The mighty blue (blue??) Pacific. I did it.
LA Tri Club has a great Beginner Ocean Swim every Sunday at 11 a.m. in Redondo Beach. I, along with over two dozen others, decided to take a dip in the [...]
Wicked Weekend

What a weekend thus far – no one can say we are lazy…we pack our weekends FULL!
During this long weekend, Super Husband and I went to the Pantages Theatre and saw Wicked for a third time. (Yes, I said THIRD time – so I love the show…I’m allowed!). We found an early dinner [...]
Happy Independence Day!

Today is a day I celebrate with joy….for so many reasons.
I started this glorious Independence Day with a one mile swim in the mighty Pacific (albeit Los Alamitos Bay) with LA Tri Club. No waves, not busy – overall excellent.
I realize I need to work on my open water swimming – however, this morning [...]
