It's kinda odd. I feel like I totally know some of the people on here. I read about their training, histories, races, injuries, goals, hopes, dreams, disasters, and sometimes their families and life outside of tris. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I only have a face for Lisa, and that the rest I…

Well I wanted running motivation. Just something to remind me of the reasons I run. And I somehow found my way to this article. Wow. So many things I have thought about running, and about myself. And so many things I want to have be part of my experiences. So I think I will find…

I think a few things are just making me exhausted lately… 28+ hours of AR at eCamp the weekend of the 16-18 (plus no sleep the nights before for prep stuff) 26+ hours of AR in Baja last weekend (plus no sleep the nights before for prep stuff) sore throat/feeling a bit sick since eCamp…

So I go to swim practice to improve my technique. I can swim too fast on my own. Since I got back after the bike wreck I've been in a faster lane, and I feel like I'm not working my form at all since I'm trying to hit the times for the lane. Today I…

It was a great weekend! I drove up to Big Bear on Friday night, and ended up going for a run with Karen and Paul (of Team Sole AR), Jorge (another AR guy), and Brie. It was dark and soooo hilly and at higher elevation than I ever train at, but it was a great…

Wooo! 3 day weekend! This should be a good one… But first… this week has also been pretty good. Still feeling a bit under the weather, but much less so now. I keep surprising myself with my running… for a long time a 10 min mile has just been my average. Sure, a bit faster…
