The Groove

It is only Wednesday and I feel like I am in the groove this week. Where everything feels good, smooth, and just good. Like a good warm cup of dark french roast. I have to say how beautiful it is snowshoe running in Mendon Ponds Park this week. Base training is wonderful in that a [...]

Dust off the Cobwebs!

When Luc was four he had open heart surgery and then a broken foot, both of which took up the small winter we did have. When Luc was five there was no winter. Now Luc is six and he has thrown his arms open wide to possibility, and winter wonderland. We have graduated form sledding [...]

My Story

I recently recieved a few emails asking me to tell the story of my eating disorder. I wrote this after Ironman Lake Placid in 2003 for www.Xtri.com, and I think it says it best……..

Our 2007 Ad…. Sneak Peek!

Here is a sneak peek of our 2007 as for the Score-This Multisport Series brochure! Thanks to Rich Clark for the design! During this time of year our advertising gears towards beginners, so we thought that expressing that there is more to multisport than 140.6 miles would be appropriate!

Sometimes I look around at this incredible group of people and I think where did they come from?I use Training Peaks as my coaching software, and I [...]

Limits

Even I have my limits. This morning it isn’t quite zero degrees. But we are in for a high of 10 degrees. That’s extremely cold, especially when they add in “But it will feel like -10 degrees……” Ouch! Today will become a light run on the dreadmill, but hey, maybe I am making that prediction [...]

Happy Birthday

If there is one lesson I will continue to learn though Ironman training, it is the lesson of patience. The Ironman has no room for ego, no room for doubt, and it has no room for impatience. If you can learn to be patient, the best will come. Try and rush through, try to race [...]
