I just realized I never posted here about my PR race! So here it is… straight from my other blog 😉 I ran the Derby Day 5k April 7th. I mainly signed up because it went through the Arboreum, which is pretty, and the Santa Anita race track, which I’ve wanted to go to for…

This one is from last weekend when I PR’ed my 5k (at this race – with GPS): Ok I just realized I never posted here about that race! See the next post for info 🙂 And one from the 22 mile ride at the ST gals weekend (at mile 10 of this ride, about 5…

It was a good weekend, but man am I tired! Got in over 162 miles of biking last week, and my biggest week ever was 163! And of those 162, a Saturday 35 mile ride involved 39 MPH headwind (up at the girls weekend), and a Sunday 75 mile ride involved rain (back down here…

So far this week is going great. I worked from home Monday to order the bikes, which means I didn’t swim (since the good pool is by work). But for once I didn’t then blow it off! Tuesday morning found me in the water being all fishlike (or at least attempting to be). I also…

Some mornings just feel good. After leaving the cuddly boy in my bed (he was leaving to run anyways) I drove to work and climbed on the bike. It was pretty cold out (jacket and long sleeves and tights w/ leg warmers over them cold), but I started with a 5 or 6 mile climb.…

… and I don’t mean the race series. Instead, I’m talking miles. You know, those long training rides that required hydration and food plans? And that make you hungry for days? Yup, got the first one of the year under my belt yesterday. I prepped Saturday with a 9 mile run (my longest since Vineman…

It’s that time… when not only is there an ended month to look at the numbers from, but also an ended year! I’ll start off the good news with my December GPS totals (bike and run only for now, as the swim ones are not in the GPS log). This includes all my biking and…
