Mom - Don't tell Dad!!, I really am good....

Ok, so nothing too exciting since my last post. Yesterday I swam at my gym rather than go to masters. It was kinda nice. I was able to compare my old times, with some new ones. I'm used to swimming meters, and masters is a yard pool. Yes, the difference is pretty simple ~10%, but when you are trying to compare times. My workout was 2500Meters

WARMUP
200easy swim (3:35), 200 kick (I did drills) & 200 easy swim (3:38)
4x50 :20 rest, 1x400 1:00 rest, 4x50 :20 rest
My 50s were dead on :51seconds, and my 400 was 7:25

MAIN SET
2x500, slight acceleration every 4th lap
they were 9:05 & 9:08
COOL DOWN
100 easy..

I was pretty happy with my times. I think my 500s were about :30-:40 seconds faster than I used to be, so I'm pretty happy with that!

As for today. I did my 1:45 ride with Melisa & Sara. I got a flat. I was having trouble with the CO2, so I just said screw it & rode with it not totally inflated. Well, just out of curiosity I checked the pressure when I got home. It was ~50psi... I have 650's they go to 110 - so they were about half full. Maybe THAT is why my leg workout with Daniel seemed a little hard today :-)

Now, on to the Title of this post.... Yesterday was a real "winter" day in Arizona. It was cold & Rainy. Just one of those days when you should be curled up in your bed...

That's exactly what some in THIS family had in mind - Let me tell you a little story...

Aghh, sleeping so peaceful - Good Dog! (Sara)

What a cute little 'baby' (Abby)

Then there was the 4-legged Red-Human... On the Human bed..

The bed in which he is NOT supposed to be on!

"Uh, Oh..... Please don't tell Dad, Mom... Pleeezzzz"

"See, I'm good.... That other picture, it was EVIL Baxter! Show Dad THIS pic!"

Your puppies are SO cute!!! My dogs aren't supposed to be in the people bed either...but *every* single night, they wait until we're asleep and sneak up there. Then, in the morning, I wake up squished, with one on either side of me. They groan and stretch and refuse to move, so I have to crawl around them to get out of bed. Makes for a lot of late mornings. Um, spoiled much? :)

Kona 23'

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
