Snow day
by Byline to Finish Line
posted December 4, 2010 at 12:54pm
Some days, it’s about listening to your body. Some days, it’s not about the plan, it’s about using your wisdom.
And so with no formal dispensation from my coach, I made the executive decision to skip my swim workout today. My back — from shoulder...more

Strength training with snow
by Byline to Finish Line
posted December 3, 2010 at 3:29pm
Does snow shoveling count as strength training?
I’d like to think so.
In the last two days, parts of Western New York have gotten socked with lake effect snow — the karma we get for enjoying abnormally warm days in November which kept our friend, La...more

Running away from my problems
by Endurance Meg
posted November 30, 2010 at 9:19am
I headed out yesterday for a wee little jog through Forest Park to scope out what everyone has been talking about. And, of course, to clear my head.
Dang, did I pick a good place to live. I am practically right across the street from the park, and althou...more

Trusting the process
by Byline to Finish Line
posted November 3, 2010 at 1:37pm
Honestly, I thought my coach was crazy. Did he just meet me?
In discussing my track workout for the week, he noted that the last time I did 600 meter intervals, I noted they were hard. So what does he do? Give me faster times to run.
“I want you to go...more

To be or not to be (coached): Is that the question?
by Endurance Meg
posted November 1, 2010 at 11:18pm
I’ve been chatting with some friends recently, on twitter and in person, about the pros and cons of hiring a coach. For years I’ve been on my own, and I’ve been really psyched about it. I have a fairly solid background in developing and executing th...more

Recap: 2010 “Sophomore” Season
by Endurance Meg
posted October 30, 2010 at 8:31pm
It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that my 2010 season is wrapped up. I’ve even had two weeks of my post-season do-whatever-I-want awesomeness, [which really hasn't been that awesome].
Racing this year has been a blast! In my second s...more

by Alison M. Starnes Blog
posted October 29, 2010 at 6:48pm
I have tried not to complain lately. I mean, what do I have to complain about? I am back on my bike, and I am making progress, and I am alive. In reality, I am very blessed.
A rainy four hour ride? No big deal. It is part of the job description...more

Why I love swimming with the grannies
by Byline to Finish Line
posted October 29, 2010 at 1:26pm
There’s something unique about swimming at the YMCA.
Because of my work schedule, I end up at the pool at odd hours where it’s often me and a crew of senior citizens. Some of them swim. Some of them walk in the pool. A number of them take one of the ...more

We had turned around to begin the process of finding our way out of the forest and back to the car when I offered a bit of gratitude to the universe for urging me to get pancakes with my breakfast.

Finding my aqua speed
by Byline to Finish Line
posted October 7, 2010 at 12:53pm
It’s been a while since I felt like this in the pool.
Yes, at the risk of sounding graphic, Wednesday’s workout included that feeling of pushing back the puke factor.
OK, I wasn’t really on the verge of throwing up.
But it was hard and difficult ...more

Epic fail: Running at The Ridge
by Byline to Finish Line
posted September 22, 2010 at 2:15pm
The plan was to do a lot of swimming and maybe ride my bike. Recovery from an Ironman often means laying low for about two weeks to allow your body time to rebound not just from the race but from the months of training. All that pounding can add up and ...more
