let my Cameron goooooo.
Two points if you remember this scene from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”. Cameron was sick – and miserable. Well – Super Husband and I are still sick and recovery is slow.
My sickness started as a simple pesky cough – but yesterday it turned for the worse. I finally decided [...]
One step forward, two steps back…

After a fantastic brick Saturday followed by refreshing yoga Sunday, I found myself worn out (overly worn out) this morning. I was supposed to go on a long, hard training ride with some friends – and once I was up getting ready, my body wasn’t cooperating.
I had everything set aside last night – all [...]

Today was my brick workout: 40 miles cycling followed by a 7 mile run. I knew it would be a longer, more challenging workout. Frankly, I think this may have been the longest brick I’ve ever completed…
I awoke this morning without any deadlines or agendas – meaning: I slept in! [...]
Swimming for Triathletes – Week One
Posted in Training on January 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Tonight was my first “Swimming for Triathletes” class through Triathletix. I was incredibly intimidated – the coach is great and well known. I felt like I needed to know more before I went into the class (kinda like cleaning up before the cleaning lady comes over).
After work I hit the gym for [...]

This week started strong: Monday was back to Masters Swim. I unfortunately called the session short after the frustrating and unorganized manner of the substitute coach. The session started strong – I shared my lane with another young lady who was about my speed. However, another class regular (who is a [...]

Saturday, Super Husband and I had our “long run”. It was 9 miles. The run was tough – we knew it would be after the holiday “rest-fest”. However, we awoke early and went on our way. The morning started quite cool – and through the run, the marine layer burned off. [...]

Rolling into the New Year!

Today I had the first ride of the year – two friends and I hit the pavement for a great 40 mile ride in the north canyons.
I had a great ride – I felt good and strong up until the last 5 miles. I started getting a bit tired (and hot – I had [...]
