Monday Bullets

It's actually NOT Monday, but it feels like it with the Holiday and all.. so Monday Bullets it is...

  • I am STILL tired, and STILL not really sleeping.. which totally totally sucks.
  • I swear this remodel is going to be done....someday
  • Hopefully someday VERY soon
  • I'm sick of making decisions about color, and more color and gloss and WHICH TOILET.... I'm mean really.....
  • Apparently we picked out the "Cadillac" of toilets though. Funny story.... for another time
  • I got carded buying wine on Saturday
  • followed by a "you look better as a blonde" comment. Nice, huh? Especially since I just spent xxx$$$'s getting my color touched up just hours prior to that
  • I'm never going back to THAT store
  • I was going to write a whole post on how I "chicked" 3 boys all by myself on Saturday.... but I'm too tired to put that much effort into it
  • Short story...... I thought I was going to die in the first 40mins because we were avg's 18mph UPHILL where we usually avg about 15.5.
  • But after about an hour - I was warmed up... and kicked some ASS... and after 50miles I still needed about 45more mins to get my 3:30 in and ALL THE BOYS were toast and ditched me and ended their ride there. WTF?
  • I really love mini-me right now :-)
  • I didn't hydrate or eat enough yesterday after 3 hours of workouts, then went to my second family's home and drank a couple of Big J's drinks (need I say more) and then some wine....
  • And I still managed to do my speed run this morning.... and I looked back at my times from a couple of months ago during IM training - same workout, and I was FASTER. Who knew?
  • I can now officially say I run faster than 8min mile paces during speedwork. Even did some SUB-SEVEN stuff last week....
  • Apparently running only 2 days a week is good for you :-)
  • I'm going to Spokane/Pullman for some visits and COLD (to me that is) weather on Friday
  • I'm pretty excited
  • I'm still absolutely obsessed with Peanut Butter lately
  • Someday I'm going to post all of the before pictures of my bathroom..... as soon as said pictures are uploaded. Hint Hint.....
  • Is wondering what my body will do come race day....
  • Is also wondering what Anne's House of Pain will be like tomorrow
  • When I'm already sore from Daniels's workout today.... ugh
  • Shane said at WATCHED me do my strength training today. His response... "He really beats you up."
  • NO SHIT
  • Shane & I are working on something really really excited for next summer
  • It involves not melting
  • That's all I'm saying until the plans are set in stone.. hopefully soon
  • I have officially (and painfully) decided on NO Ironman for next year. This is helping make the above 2 bullets happen.
  • Ironman Canada 2010.
  • I saw New Kids on the Block on some talk show at the gym today. Need I say more?
  • On that same note..... 90210 (the new) starts tonight. I'm SUCH A SUCKER for this crap!
  • Did I mention I am already sore and it's only 4hours after my workout?
  • Tomorrow should be fun
  • I'm doing one of my peak long rides for the Half IM training. 4hours. Jeez that seems so doable compared to 7hrs.
  • I really really wish I could sleep more than like an hour at a time...... I don't know what is up with me lately.
  • That's about all.... for now :-)
  • Oh wait.... My blog is being re-invented right now! I can't wait to post the new look!

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
