Weekend report: Orange frogs and soccer
by Byline to Finish Line
posted May 23, 2011 at 7:26pm

We walked along the open path, a former road now overgrown after years of non-use and disregard, and came upon a small pond, created from the recent heavy rains and natural water runoff. Mark stopped to take notice, pointing out the movement at the far en...more

Focusing on my strengths: Early mornings and oatmeal

Last weekend I had the glorious opportunity to wake up after 7 a.m. Both days. Today is a recovery day and what happened? I woke up at 7 a.m. Glorious! Of course, part of me feels like the day is half over already. See, most days, my alarm goes of at 4:45...more

Taking off my shirt

posted May 20, 2011 at 1:22am

For a moment, the big yellow ball in the sky frightened me. Not as much as the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz and Wicked (which tend to give me nightmares), but this bright orb caused a momentary panic. Then I remembered — it’s only the sun. It’...more

The power of persistence: Little successes mean a lot
by Byline to Finish Line
posted May 18, 2011 at 3:26pm

It’s only three miles, I told myself. Last week, I ran four miles at tempo pace, this week it’s just three. Completely doable. The damp, cool, gray morning was not inviting, yet I decided to make the most of it. After a two mile warmup, my workout cal...more

Talking food with strangers: My trip to the nutritionist
by Byline to Finish Line
posted May 18, 2011 at 3:01am

“Have you ever talked to anyone about your food before?” Well, no. Not really. Not anyone who was wholly qualified to tell me about my food choices particularly in regard to my athletic activity. Basically, I just read a lot and tried to eat healthy...more

Getting Started...Recruit A Friend

posted May 16, 2011 at 4:22pm

I love my friends. We laugh and joke about our crazy lives and they make me feel like the day in and day out of being home with four kids is normal. They are there for me for my ups and downs, whether it be a family celebration or helping me care for ...more

Weekend report: Hills, rain and a graduation
by Byline to Finish Line
posted May 16, 2011 at 4:01pm

My quads were burning from the hills and my fingertips had started to wrinkle from the constant rain. When my 12-mile run began, it was warm, humid and cloudy. After 10 minutes, a light drizzle started. It felt great. So did those first three miles. Then ...more

December Triathlon I need to put another triathlon on my 2011 race schedule like I need another hole in my head. But I was going through my goodie bag that I received at last weekends Race for the Arts 5k, and found a postcard for the Miami 25-75 triat...more

Lost in thought: The benefits of mindless swimming
by Byline to Finish Line
posted May 13, 2011 at 2:46pm

I often lose track of time. It happens for various reasons — watching Law & Order marathons, reading, grading papers, writing — but mostly I notice it during my long workouts. These are the days when running, biking and swimming is about distance and ...more

Joanna Zieiger on the 20 mnute rule

posted May 11, 2011 at 5:38pm

Do you ever wake up in the morning questioning whether to train? Can’t even get out of bed? How about standing on the pool deck debating whether to dive in? Your body is tired and your brain is frazzled. What to do? On these days, I ask myself, am I rea...more

Intention and gifts: Apply athletics to every day life
by Byline to Finish Line
posted May 11, 2011 at 1:05pm

There are times when I forget that I’ve done an Ironman. Every once in a while, when my brain gets caught in a swirl of activity and pulled by forces of negativity and doubt, someone close to me will say, “Um, Amy. You can handle this. You’ve done a...more

Pampering: No longer a dirty word. (Plus a giveaway!)
by Byline to Finish Line
posted May 10, 2011 at 11:26pm

There is something unsettling about the word “pamper” to me. It conjures up images of doing something a bit sneaky or sly, like playing hooky or getting a treat for something you really didn’t earn. Pampering has a connotation, for me, of being extr...more

It is a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Vermont. I ran my long run today. Brilliant sunshine, cool breeze, and rolling hills. Truly idyllic. Past the cows that I actually talk to as I go by, as they walk along the fence as though escorting me down...more

The Seneca 7 manifesto: Bringing the lessons home
by Byline to Finish Line
posted May 3, 2011 at 10:56pm

By the fourth interval, I was ready to get out of the pool. The only problem was the workout called for 12 repeats of 100-meter sprint swims. The long course pool and I were not having a great start to the spring and this workout, while better than my las...more

Race report: The Seneca 7
by Byline to Finish Line
posted May 2, 2011 at 6:30pm

Less than a mile into my final run my core started to ache. I thought about leading with my heart center, breathing and relaxing. I let go of pace and just tried to work hard, yet the ache was still there. Maybe that last run up the hill took more out of ...more

The age old debate: What age is old in triathlon?

It has come to my attention that next week I will be expected to celebrate another birthday. What? Didn’t I just turn 40? I have written about aging on a few occasions (here and here), but the theme of age and athletics seems to pop up regularly in my...more
