It was a good weekend of accomplishment! Got my computer working (I had fried the hard drive about a year ago, and had a new one sitting around for a while. Even managed to recover all the stuff on the old drive! wooo!) Pilates on Saturday – I've been wanting to try more of the…

It’s in the mail… Jer, Lisa and I have now been committed. To Vineman (then we’ll see where else they commit us to…). It should be awesome! Ran this morning, and it went alright. It was basically still dark, and with some tunes on very low and the morning noises it was calming and great.…

There are 3 Vineman apps sitting next to me right now. Just gotta walk across the street to the postoffice either today or tomorrow (depending on time) and then Lisa, Jer and I will be set! This weekend was fun. Jer came out here, and he and Lisa and I went for a bike ride…

There is something about sharing goals that makes them more real for me… but first I’ll start with the beginning. A fellow blogger on the other site I use posted a great “1st 50k” report, and I told him so and that someday I’ll be there. He told me he’s read my IM report, and…

There is a towel hanging out of the desk drawer behind me, bike shoes under the chair, and my beautiful bike in the hallway. I feel like I fit in with you other bike commuters today! Took metrolink most of the way in, biking the last 10 miles (where it doesn't go – yet). Instead…

So I will never again do the full ride home from work. At least not until I have some one to ride with, find a better route, and it's staying light later. So let's play a little game called "things that can go wrong on a bike ride"… Directions with a road closure: check and…

I finally did it! Just got the bike gear ready last night, wrote directions from the Metrolink station to work, and hopped on my bike this morning. A mile to the station by home, and then a bit over 9 miles once I reached the near work station 40 min later. Makes the commute longer,…

So after all the effort of the last week or so and getting back into regular working out, I have cold or something. And it has gotten colder here, so although that doesn't really bother me, my running pants are packed somewhere as I'm half moved, and since I'm already feeling cold from being a…

Yesterday afternoon the sky was a gorgeous blue, and it was just cool enough in the shade that I picked to wear light long sleeves, while my training partner went for short sleeves. We headed out, our legs still feeling a bit heavy. But my new running shoes feel like running on clouds… I'm definitely…
