This past Wednesday I attended an excellent lecture. Cherie Gruenfeld spoke about her own personal journey to Ironman.
Cherie is an extraordinary person! She’s not only a world record holding triathlete – she runs a non-profit organization helping at-risk kids find their inner-athlete. It is amazing the power of self confidence with kids [...]

Ironman Wisconsin – Training Grounds
Posted in Ironman, Training on August 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Last weekend I flew back to Wisconsin to take show myself if (that is a huge “if”) I can possibly tackle the Ironman Wisconsin bike course.
I was excited to take some time away from work – I’d miss my Better Half…he was staying back in the smog. However, I’d have some time with family [...]

RACE REPORT: San Francisco Half Marathon (the first Half – to be precise).
Super Husband and I flew out for a very short 30 hours – just enough time to dust the smog off ourselves, dine at a few favorite places in “the city” and take in a scenic half marathon.
PRE-RACE:
Saturday we left mid-morning – we [...]

This week has been an adventure – just from a living point of view.
We had the largest earthquake since Super Husband moved here (8 years ago) and I moved here (4.5 years ago). It was startling for both of us since we were at work. I was 18 stories up – feeling the [...]
