Good News & Bad News
Pin itThe good news: Flocasts.org! I. Am. In. Lu-huv. Katie’s daughter, “E” (I call her E-Speed, cuz she’s a Speedy Speederson) is on the local high school track team. She and Katie introduced me to this handy little site. I can’t tell you how many miles I have driven to map out a long run. [...]
To Ironman 70.3 Or Not To Ironman 70.3
Pin it…next summer (’09) – THAT is the question. I can feel the marbles falling out of my brain onto the floor as I type. It’s ridiculous. Simply ridiculous. Isn’t it? 1.2 mile swim 58 mile bike 13.1 mile run (half-marathon) Just weeks ago, I went round and round with myself over the fact I [...]
"Training" Schmaining
Pin itSo, I have been posting a buncha garbage about this thing I call “training”. I have a half-marathon I intend to complete in a few weeks and I do not want to be unprepared – so I “train”. But I’ve been thinking lately. I am keeping track of my “physical” preparations, but not my [...]

Make Me Laugh Monday
Pin it I was trying to figure out what I could post today. I came across a funny joke last night when I was scouring the humor category last night on Alltop.com. Wanna hear it? What’s the difference between one yard and two yards? A fence. Ahahahahahahaha! BWAAAAHHHHhahahahaha! *slapping knee* O.K. So. While I do [...]

What’s up with that toe? …The one wearing that cool ring… Running did that? What’s that? That toe hasn’t kept a toenail in 2 years? Gross. [...]
Training SmackDown – Week 4
Pin itFor some reason, this week wore me out. I’m panting just thinking about it. Not really, I just wrote that for effect Anywho. This week was not particularly intense “training wise” nor did I push myself, but I can just tell my body is all, “Girlfriend. Whut iz UP!” Either I am fighting off [...]
Upon first thought…
Pin it…I wasn’t going to blog about this. And since I am not one to toot my own horn (heh, I wrote “toot”), I thought I should continue in that vain vein of humility… modesty, lowliness even. BUT I can’t stop myself. Bookmark on Delicious Recommend on Facebook Share on Linkedin Share with Stumblers Tweet [...]
It's a Wrap! 3 Weeks Down, 6 to Go…
Pin itI kinda wonder if I should really call this training thing “training” at all. I have deviated from my handy-dandy “plan” and am now just making things up as I go. Part of my “problem” is I am looking beyond the half-marathon in June. Preparing for the half is my main focus, but an [...]
Training Wrap-Up – Week 2
Pin it8 weeks to My first event of the season. 8 weeks… I am having trouble following any particular “plan” because the schedule of My life won’t allow me to make it fit, and my left knee isn’t cooperating either. Now, I am a “plan” kinda gal, so I do have a “plan” it’s just [...]
