Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I decided to create this blog after reading my friend momo's blog for a couple months. Even though I talk to her daily, I love reading her blog. It's entertaining, informational & just plain ol' fun!

You see, we have a group of 7 friends that are all training for Ironman Coeur D'Alene together. This will be 4/7 of our first Ironman, and I am one of them. I thought, what better place to capture my thoughts, fears, and daily activities that go on over the next 5 months than here. Somewhere that I can share with friends, family & loved ones. Day 1 of my 20 week training program begins in 5 days. Monday, 2/5/07 starts the journey to the 2007 Ironman CDA.

Now, onto some more lighthearted stuff.... Rather than ramble on NON-STOP about simply training, I think I'll talk a little about what goes on outside of the hustle & bustle - or rather the run, bike, swim, eat, sleep routine. Although 'S' & I don't have a large family with lots of kids, we do have what makes us happy. 3, beautiful 4 legged children named Sara, Baxter & Abby. I will post a little about each of them on my blog so you can meet them. And, trust me - if you read my blog you will hear about them MORE than you probably want to. As most people say, I'm obsessed with my "kids!" But then again, aren't we all? Mine just look a little different than most - I wouldn't have it any other way!

Thankfully, I have come into a wonder job (THANKS MOMO) that allows me the time & freedom to write this blog. I was stuck in Corporate America right out of college & never seemed to find what suited me best. Now, I get to keep a career with the flexibility I need to not only make ends meet, but also enjoy life & all the adventures out there!

Now, bear with me as I'm just learning how to build this site & will most likely be changing it around for a while. Enjoy!!! ~K - A.K.A "Tri-Dogmom"

As your #1 fan this will be so helpful to stay current on your training:) Just think of how much more time you can devote to train if I'm not making you email me all your detailed days events??

Thank you so much for doing this blog. As I said, I am living vicarioulsy through you. I haven't quite crossed to the other side yet to join in on the Ironman lifestyle, but think after following you and your blog...I just might! I am so proud and excited for you and your 6 crew training and competeing in CDA! You guys are all awesome! I can join you again this Friday for that 1:10 hour run if you want some company again!

It's been a while! I started this blog/journal to document training adventures for my first Ironman in 2007. It was a fun adventure and *back then* blogging was the social media of today. It connected me with so many special people that I met and continue to keep in contact with (albeit, not enough). Life got busy, training was more of a lifestyle then a new adventure and sharing my daily with the world became just, well irrelevant. While so much has changed since my last post, there is still a lot of the same. My love for swimming, biking and running, dogs and wine is still there, but my desire to keep pushing and find new boundaries has definitely faded. Over 20 years in this endurance world I've found more in myself then I ever dreamed possible. I've met the most amazing people and traveled to beautiful places.  In 2021 after several years of pandemic chaos, I brought myself back to top end fitness and lined up for my 14th Ironman and 8th IMCDA. I had a solid day, 6th in...

Happy Birthday to me.....

NO I'm not 30 QUITE yet..... BUT, I already got my first birthday present....:-) You all know I love me some RED. Kinda like SHE loves her some Pink. Except, I don't have to wear it every day. My bike isn't red (although it would be so cool if it were). I do however have: a red wall kitchen red (black & white) dishes a new red phone sassy red shoes a red wallet but... the one thing I've been waiting for.... a NEW RED HANDBAG ! I've been checking this site obsessively for a new season of RED to come out. And wouldn't you know.. the new season is here, and it was FULL OF RED. And, not the flashy fire red , but the pretty dark deep red that I love.... And then.. wouldn't you know it... a couple days after said find, I get a preferred customer coupon in the mail for 25% off.... If only the timing weren't so bad. If only I still wasn't making up for my IM expenses. If only it were MY birthday this month not his . After about a week of obsessi...

All about the SHOES

Well, I'm pretty sure that title grabbed a few of my fellow shoe whores :-) Unfortunately, this isn't a post about some really cool new shoes , or boots I purchased, or received... or even HAVE for that matter. Boo hoo. I would love me some new shoes though. Something about fall and cute new pumps that go perfect with Jeans. You know, for all those time I shower, and actually blow dry my hair.... and try to remember how to put make on and all. Whatever, you get the point. No cute new shoes. Blah. Bet Shane read the title and thought I ordered myself something online... again :-) Anyway, this post is about RUNNING shoes. Boring, I know.. but, probably one of the single most important things to being a successful, injury free runner (you know, cause I'm all of that and all - ha!).... I've been thru it all. Several running assessments, orthotics, Adidas, Nike, Saucony, Brooks... you name it, I've probably tried it (remember, shoes we are talking about here people). In...
