Week in Review, Recovery Week

It’s always a strange sign when you leap out of bed on a cold Monday morning, and feel ready to take on the week. I fell into an unwanted recovery week last week and dare I say…. I think Coach Doug was right. It seems I needed that recovery week, and I really let myself [...]

Onward

Erasing the memory of the big bad workout this week which forced me into recovery, was learning of the plan ahead. Learning of the next few mesocycles and how they fit into this giant macrocycle I have set up. Is this challenge to big for me to face? Do I have the emotional strength to [...]

I Have Those Days Too……

For some reason it is a surprise to people when I have bad days, miss workouts, get upset over training. So I write this to let you know that I have those bad days too. It started off at 0430 as I awoke to teach yoga. I realized that my next sleep in day would [...]

GLORIOUS!

It’s deep! It’s fluffy! It’s white! SNOW SNOW SNOW! This is that great time of year when it is legal and encouraged to substitute snow shoeing for running, and even cross country skiing! I am excited for 11am when I can strap on my snow buds and spend an hour lost in the woods, in [...]

Winter….. it is all about perspective.

I was born and raised in the Northeast, and I love it here. I tried my hand in the south, on the West Coast, and even down on Long Island New York. I always ended up dreaming of this. I did not grow up in Rochester, I grew up in Buffalo, which is 60 miles [...]

I have snow!

Weekly Check in, January 14th

Some days, most days lately I feel so blessed to be in good physical and emotional health. It is truly a gift and it is one not to be taken for granted. I am so blessed to have had an issue last season that I have been able to recover from, because I know full [...]

Today I Cried

If the Ironman were a person, I would be his groupie. The Ironman has created change, exhilaration, belief, doubt, disappointment, fear, happiness, satisfaction and hunger within me. Almost one year ago I arrived home from the office of Dr. DiGiovanni, my left shoe in my hand, and a Hi Tide Boot on my left leg. [...]

Check!

The first real long ride of the season, four hours was scheduled for me today, and I had been waiting all week for it. I have been hanging around 3-3 1/2 hours, but four hours is typically the stopping point for my half Ironman training. And here it is in January and I am at [...]
