The new image of Miguel This is what Karl gave me for my birthday. Ok. Not really. I bought the bike in … 2002. Really? That long ago? That means I am not even exaggerating (that much) when I tell people it is like 10 years old. I have loved that bike although it never…
Run Flagstaff
Xterra ’09 After a week of being forced to take things easy (when it comes to training) because of our move to Flagstaff, AZ, I started to slowly but surely go crazy! I was having a hard time getting up early after staying up late unpacking things and making this apartment look more like home….
Training Truths
Squaw Peak – 3 Witches Ride July ’10 I claim that I use my blog as a journal. Who writes in their journal nothing but the good? I would like my blogs to (somehow) reflect reality and let you (and myself) know what is really going on. I wrote a post (here) about a few…
StrollerStrides
Usually, while Noah is having a great time at preschool, Max and I go running. When Noah was little, I took him on runs in the stroller all the time. Before moving to Flagstaff, Max had hardly ever had that pleasure for different reasons: a) who wants to push a double jogger with 2 kids…
Speedgoat 50k
Guest post by Karl Race Report Speedgoat 50k I had some unfinished, no, unstarted business to take care of at the Speedgoat this year. From the first time I heard about it I knew it was for me. I mean, why wouldn’t I run a race with about as much climbing as the Squaw Peak…
BAM – My Race Report
Sorry. This is the only picture I have. I was able to stand on the podium in 1st place again! But this race was a little different from all the others this season. I did not lead the race from start to finish. And actually, believe it or not, that is just what I had…
BAM Race Festival – Karl’s Duathlon
The stunningly beautiful run course and finish chute I am a lame race reporter, I have to admit. It has been 5 weeks since BAM and I am finally making myself write a little report. I could come up with lots of excuses, but I won’t. So here is what I remember: As usual, my…
Wonder Woman Ride
If I were in Utah on September 18th, this is what I would be doing: It is a beautiful ride in and around Payson created by women for women. If you don’t feel up for 100 miles, you can do 30 or 70. Here is why it is going to be awesome and why you…
I Got Mail Today
This is what I found in my little package: The AVIA BOLT I love them! Can’t wait to take them out. Thank you, BBSC Tri and Team Fastlane! PS: There are so many blog posts waiting to be written. I am so far behind, it is almost pathetic. Please be patient. I am still busy…
Missing Masters Already
Orem Masters is taking a break in August. What? How can they do this to me? So last Thursday was officially my last swim practice with them. It was a good one: 13*200m (main set) I have been missing them ever since. I swam 3 times this week but it was not the same. I…
