After completing this post and actually liking how it turned out, I lost the second half as I tried to publish it. I am extremely mad. Now it’s not half as good as it was. I hope you enjoy it anyway. Being back home in Utah means having family, friends, and training partners around. And…
Kona Coverage
American TV is driving me crazy. I can’t handle it. Not one minute of it. That is why we don’t have TV at our house. At all. But I thought I could maybe handle NBC’s coverage of the Hawaii Ironman World Championships. So I packed my bag and headed over to the YMCA. Gotta love…
Gym Extravaganza
I enjoyed a gym extravaganza the other day.It was awesome. Thursday at midnight Karl needed to turn in his last project of the semester.Friday he was a free man!(For the next 2 weeks, at least.)So, magnificent wife that I am, I signed him up as the parent helper for Noah’s preschool party.I made sure Max…
Biking with the Big Boys
(I really only love the gym in bad weather. Or when I need a safe place for my little tag-along(s). Which is quite frequent these days. Not having Jen or Grandma/Grandpa around can sure be a challenge. But, no worries, I will always find a way to sneak in my workouts.) In my book, nothing…
Loving the Gym
Truth is: I always knew that when I’d find the right gym, I would love it. I just had never found the right one. Until now. I was pushing Max in the Chariot for almost all of my runs in September and October. I did not really mind since it was the off season and…
Grand Canyon Double Crossing Run Report
(by Karl) Muslims have their Mecca. Country singers have their Nashville. Emperor penguins have their special spot in the Antarctic. And ultrarunners have the Grand Canyon. Those of us that choose to lose brain cells by running long miles in the backcountry feel a beckoning to come and run across that certain spectacular Big Ditch…
Oh, How I Hate the Gym
I hate gyms. I really do. And I always have. My first time in a gym was on October 31st in 2003. Gold’s Gym in Provo. I thought that if I just went in, maybe it would not be so bad, and I could convince myself to join. The second I walked in, I realized…
Gotta Love Cross-Training
I love autumn for many different reasons. One of them being the chance to cross-train! I had not been on a mountain bike since the XTERRA last year, when Jennifer invited me to hit some trails a few weeks ago. Of course I could not say ‘No’. I love mountain biking. BUT I have no…
Sign me up!
I just signed up for my first race in 2011! I am super excited to run in the Painter’s Halfmarathon in St. George on January, 22nd. I love St. George and can’t wait to go there in the middle of the winter. The plan is: swim on Friday run the race Saturday morning bike one…
Biking in Flagstaff
I spend a lot of time “riding” with my little boys. Max (2) has gotten really good on his balance bike over the last few weeks. He can now coast with his feet up for quite a while. Preferably on trail. I am so excited for him! Noah‘s great love these days is the skate…
