In the words of the ever so eloquent Feist, I feel it all. The good, the bad, the ugly that is. After some time off and then some time just getting back into, my fitness has certainly seen some lows. The good news is, I think I'm finally coming out of it ...more

by Chic Runner

So Saturday morning I got up bright and early for my 6-10 miler. I wanted to hit ten miles, but I didn’t know how I would fare and I didn’t want to push myself too hard pending how I felt during the run. I was just going to run until I was tired. I st...more

Before I started training for my first triathlon (Ironman Wisconsin), I had this skewed sense of who a triathlete really was. The only triathletes I had met in real life (prior to meeting Ian) were perfectionists with (dare I say) obsessive-compulsive pre...more
