Honestly, I am simply NOT quite sure how this happened. One second I was reveling in the glory of completing my very first Olympic distance triathlon while enjoying the company of my teammates around a table on a dimly lit and smoky patio.

So. That happened. A few months ago, I wondered if I was going to make it to the re-commitment date for Team in Training’s Triathlon at Pacific Grove event. On the day of the event, (some would say ‘race’), as I stood on the beach after having dog paddled around a bit in a safe […]

I had to wait a week to write this entry. I needed to be sure it wasn’t a fluke or a one-time thing. It has happened twice now, so it must be real. I ran. Without intervals. Without walking. Without so much as a curse word escaping my being. I ran. Slowly. Methodically. Deliberately. Constantly […]

To tell you the truth, I’m wondering the same thing. It’s been a few years since I first opened the curtains to cautiously peek outside the window that […]

Well. That was not a personal delight. Sure, it was great seeing the folks from our RFW class all come together on an early Saturday morning for the Turkey Trot event. All of us bundled in our finest fall running gear. Mentally preparing ourselves, and each other, for the brisk task ahead. Hot chocolate was […]

Herein lies our last week of RFW’s fall session. We’ve increased our run time to an amount I didn’t recall having to complete in our last class. I thought maybe I pushed the memory of the last two weeks of our previous session out of my mind because I despised it so. Upon further review, […]
