My sister – a picture of health.
Wanna know what my sister said as she was shoving the last piece of cinnamon roll in her mouth??? Read this with a Valley Girl accent: Pizza! I don’t eat peeeeetzzaaaaa! But she does eat cinnamon rolls. She is so healthy. I love her. She’s carbo-loading for our 4 mile road race tomorrow morning. Go [...]
11 days
So. I am training for my first Olympic distance triathlon. It is in 11 days. I got back from Blogher ’08 3 days ago. Another name I have given BloHer ’08 is “Calorie Fest-O-Rama” . While I was there I met 2 triathloners – Kathleen of Forging Ahead and Catherine (yes I need her URL [...]
Never mind.
First off, yeah. It’s Dara Torres, not Dana Torres. My bad. To refresh your memory, she is the 41 year-old superwoman of all swimmingness… who won a spot on this year’s U.S. Olympic Team to become the oldest woman to ever swim in the Olympics. Sha. Zam. Anywho. In this post, I wrote her name [...]
Bikey Bikerson
No. That is not the name I have chosen for my shiny road bike. Here’s a picture of her again. I love looking at her so much… So, in my search for name ideas, summa ya’ll had a few ideas, and a few opinions. Thank you so very much for caring enough to send the [...]
Confession – Olympic Dreams
I have admitted this to friends, but to admit this in a wider forum fells kinda silly. However, ya’ll know I want to keep it real wit’cha so here goes… I have always wanted to swim in the Olympics. As long as I can remember. I started “competing” in my local summer swim club (not [...]
Happy 4th!
Hi all! Happy Fourth of July! Be safe. Be sane. Be real. Yo. The weather looks good here today. Much better than yesterday. In fact, the clouds were so dark, and the rain so strangely heavy, it drove my 6 year-old daughter to inquire, “Mom. Was yesterday the last day of summer?” It’s nice that [...]
Skillz
So. Yesterday. I am at the bike shop. Getting Mz. Thang/Butta/Fastlikedawind/Lollipop/Buffy all synced-up. We raised the handle bars and worked on my form. I still need lots of work. Apparently I am tense. Who knew? But that’s not the story. The story is: I was all chattin’ with a gal who was getting syced-up with [...]
Help me name my awesome road bike!
It is with joy in my heart and more debt on the plastic that I announce to the world – I got a road bike!!! My other bike is a mountain bike/cruiser… I added road tires to help increase the speed just a touch. My Cruiser has taken me through 5 sprint-distance triathlons – since [...]
Confession – Cosmetic Surgery
If I had the hard cold cash, or room in my budget to make the monthly payment on a credit plan… I would totally get my tummy “done”. After gaining 50+ pounds in each of my 3 pregnancies, and then losing 50+ pounds three times… Miss Belly just couldn’t handle the pressure. All that stretching… [...]
Busy Weekend
In case you are wondering, my stomach is still not 100% after yesterday, but I have been able to eat. I even drank a margarita tonight. Take that, Stomach! Additionally and furthermore, I am much more tired than I thought I would be at this point… Sure, yesterday’s run could be the reason, but lots [...]
