It has begun — last night the training plans started. Vineman 2006, I will be ready! Yesterday I started on the run schedule Libor kindly shared with me. 6 miles. But not like my normal 6 miles… keeping my HR around 150! I don't think I've ever ran with it that low. Since I know…

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,…

Now all of you people who live in places with weather might not want to read this… This weekend was nice and lazy… some karate, and then a bbq at the pool. About 15 or so of us gathered in shorts and tshirts, but still found the shade since as the day was a bit…

So tired this week, and since it's also post a 24 hr deal I'm taking it easy. Monday was the official day off (from driving to work and from working out). And last night I was considering running to karate, but I was just too drained. Instead I've been working on some crochet xmas gifts…

This last race was, well, quite a learning experience. Warning: this is very long…. It started as a team built from eCamp — myself, Ryan (another participant), Chris (a volunteer), and Duncan (a friend of Chris’). First I rolled my foot (but it is doing mostly better so I still raced), then Duncan got hit…

Sunday Holly and I signed a lease! We got the cute little duplex right near the Claremont Village (town center). It's adorable, and all will be invited to our housewarming 😉 Oh, and this is the town I went to college in… so that explains the topic line of this post. I also got in…
