Today’s Training and Nutrition

Sally M. winning the AZ marathon this year I know. I know. I should really be writing a post about my awesome training camp in St. George, but I am just not feeling it. I was not going to write anything today since I have been engrossed in Sally Meyerhoff‘s blog. It is so incredibly…

The Aftermath

Yesterday’s run – Long Canyon in Sedona (For some reason my last post Before the sickness hit did not show up in Google Reader or people’s blogs. Just FYI.) So. We are talking about the aftermath of the St. George Halfmarathon here. I just feel like I have not quite concluded that story and some…

Before the sickness hit…

HT Training group at Washington Community Center (I am the dork that did not take off her goggles) Finally. I get to tell you a little bit more about my St. George weekend in January. I will stick to the high-/lowlights. First time driving from Flagstaff, AZ to St. George, UT. Definitely not as bad…

Top 20

As I was trying to finally update my blog and figuring out where to start, I got an email from USAT. It reads: Congratulations! As a finisher in the Top 20 of your age group in the 2010 USA Triathlon final Rankings, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you for a terrific 2010…

Entering the World of Watts

This is my new favorite toy. Ok. So it is not really a toy. And it is not mine. And it is not even new. But you get the idea. It is the spin bike I get to use at the YMCA. I have been using it since November but I did not realize just…

New PR at a High Cost

St. George Halfmarathon Report I have a feeling that this is going to be long. Even though I am going to tell you about the rest of the weekend in my next post. So. Sit back and enjoy, if you are interested. A few days before the race, I told Karl that I have two…

Cross Training

I had the pleasure of writing a little article about cross training for one of my favorite magazines, Rocky Mountain Running & Triathlon. You can read the article here. As for my race report, I know you don’t necessarily care, but it is bugging me that I still have not finished it. Life just gets…

My New Foam Friend

These are the treasures I got for Christmas. I did get a couple more things but they are not really blog-worthy. We also had a very small Christmas budget, seeing how we are poor students. Karl knows me well. New socks. One pair of training socks just did not cut it anymore. Hell on Wheels….

Biking in Sedona

Sedona Ride Today I got lucky! We decided to spend Martin Luther King Day in Sedona. Partly because, if people up here find out that you have never been to Sedona, they give you a weird look and think you are crazy. Partly because the forecast was for 70 degrees down there and clear blue…

2011 Season

For those of you wondering whether I will be pregnant or racing in 2011… Well, it looks like I will be racing. The Original Plan for this year was to be pregnant and have a baby. I whole-heartedly embraced the plan. 4 kids. Each 3 years apart. Pregnant. Newborn. 2 racing seasons. Pregnant again. I…
