The wonder years

Today I am going to hit the road for a while. Just me and two wheels. Not to escape anything….. but to live a little more richly. Where I live has rolling hills and gorgeous rolling hills….. farmlands and the Great Lakes. Flats where you don’t expect them and hills that could be considered mountains [...]

“Life is like a cup of coffee”

One of my childhood friend’s mothers….. “Mrs. B.” shared this video, and I had to pass it along. Interestingly, I have thought of her often throughout the years. She is the creator of beautiful embroidery, and ironically in my son’s bedroom I have many of the things she created. I am so happy to have [...]

Friday!

Believe it or not, nothing much to report. Training is rolling along smoothly. I am feeling good. Part of me wishes I were with my teammates at Oceanside 70.3, and then the other half of me remembers in less than a month I will be in Texas! I am psyched to test out my early [...]

The long day

Today is my long day. 100 miles, 5 hours, nothing but me and the road. Sandwiched between a swim and a run. The long day happens once a week and for once today I am taking the day off of working from home. well, I say that…. but I never do. (I love my athletes, [...]

Getting it all in

Happy St Patrick’s Day! I have a confession. I had a Shamrock Shake yesterday. It was green. doesn’t that count as being in the Core? I only have one a year. Today undoubtedly The Wizard will want yesterday’s menu. Gulp! It takes me until Tuesday to recover from my night shift on Sundays. I work that [...]

Typical week

It’s back to work! Recovery week / test week is over. The improvements are there, tracked, turned green in my trainng log. Pace, body compisition, volume are right on track. Sports bra….. passed the test, and I ordered 10 of them. I got really crazy and ordered all of the three colors available. Whoa, I know. [...]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I can’t even say that enough. The response to the beads and the desire to want to do something that actually makes a difference in this world was more than anything I have ever experienced before. Stay tuned because people have reached out with ideas, and very soon I [...]

Beads At Breathe

The below picture is of what seem to be beautifully created bead necklaces and bracelets. They are. But let me tell the story behind where these came from, and why you should consider coming on down to Breathe  to get yourself some. If that sounds like a cheap sales plug, good. That’s exactly what it [...]

Silver

What a game! What a way to end an olympics, what a way to feel the passion of a country, two countries as we all collectively “squeezed the stick and well all pulled the trigger”. If you had to choose how an Olympics would end, how could you not choose that? It wouldn’t have been half [...]

Sound Bites

Friday morning was light in terms of folks in the pool. Normally we have our coach on deck but it’s winter break and she gets to have a break. Woman coaches 10 days a week for heaven’s sake! So it was us and the workout and the pool. I was surprised that the group actually [...]
