There hasn’t been this kind of dread heading into a swim workout in quite some time. Well, perhaps “dread” is the wrong word. I just wasn’t particularly enthused about swimming. Particularly not with 400s on the agenda and the outside temperature ...more

Full of a bit too much Tex-Mex goodness from lunch with Best Boyfriend Mark and cloistered inside with a sore heel and howling cold winds it was the perfect opportunity to reflect on my 2010. Maybe it was the grayness of the day, or the hearty serving of ...more

Delusions of Grandeur I started participating in duathlons two years ago, at 45 years old. I'm not a very fast runner, but I'm a half way decent cyclist, and end up doing okay. In fact, I've won an award at every duathlon I've competed in so far....more

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

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

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
