The Art of Training

Lately I have been involved and reading up on many debates. The debates seem to center on “the best way to train”. Heart rate monitor or Pace? Power Meter of Heart rate? Lifting weights or not… and is functional strength training all a bunch of bull? These debates are very enjoyable to me, I love [...]

Ironman Florida Pictures

Well, not really. They are pictures from Ironman Florida but somehow I managed to NOT TAKE ONE SINGLE PICTURE OF ANYTHING IRONMAN! I guess when you have been to so many Ironmans you don’t need too many pictures. To see some very cute pictures of our trip, please click here. Thanks for stopping by! Mary

Day In The Life

“Her blood pressure is 144/77.” I told her mother. “Is that high?” she asked. “For a 12 year old girl who weighs 95 kg, that is high.” I said. “Wow, she weighs 95 kg?” her mom asked in surprise. “95 kg…” I replied…. “Is two hundred and nine pounds.” I wondered if this mother actually [...]

Tis the Season

“Medium black coffee please” I responded to Keith at Tim Horton’s. I know Keith by his voice. He’s a college kid and he’s got a voice for radio… that’s for sure. As I pulled to the pick up window I secretly hoped, and I was happily surprised but not surprised….. because you know when Christmas [...]

Not that I am complaining…. in fact this is the best Ironman recovery I have ever had. After you’ve done so many though, shouldn’t [...]

As we were walking through the rest of the mall a man caught my eye. He was driving a Lark, one of those handicapped scooters. He had one leg and [...]

When Can I Run?

Think that’s a little too soon to even think about 6 days after an Ironman? Well you are as surprised as I am for thinking it and even asking it. When can I run? In my life I don’t think I have ever wanted to run more than anything on this earth. And I blame [...]

Girl On Your Left

This was just put up on Slowtwitch; It is my sad responsibility to be the messenger of unhappy news I never, ever thought I would send. Dorothy Barnett-Griffin, wife, mother of three, sister, daughter, philanthropist, athlete, friend to hundreds and more of an Ironwoman then all the Ironmen I have ever known, passed from this [...]
