Well we hit a couple milestones in the last week. 500 miles combined total for Leesa and I as well as 50 miles swimming. WOW that is some mileage and it only took 2 and half months. That is equivalent to walking from Kansas City to St. Louis and back!Â
Training over the last week or [...]
Today is Craig’s birthday!! He’s 38!! That gives me two years to plan an awesome 40th birthday party for him!! You might want to go ahead and save the date for November 23, 2010!!!
So what’s the birthday boy up to? Trying out his new gifts — a Garmin Forerunner 305 and some nifty winter clothing!! [...]
I’m tired. I think that’s the standard for me — being tired. I really wish I could somehow get over this feeling. No matter what I try I can’t shake the exhaustion for more than a few days at a time. For instance….I walked last Saturday, spent most of Sunday working in the yard, did [...]
Training was good today. Cold, but good. Scratch that — it was very cold!!And I was unprepared for the cold. My upper body was toasty warm – dri-fit long sleeved shirt, t-shirt and a fleece jacket, gloves and a cold-weather running cap. My lower half however was another story. By the time we got to [...]
I had to buy new jeans today. Two sizes smaller than I was wearing!!!
Today Craig and I celebrate 22 years of togetherness!! That’s ‘togetherness’, not marriage (marriage will be 16 years next month). Way back in 1986 we started dating and have been a couple ever since. So much has happened in our lives over the years – as it tends to do. But the one thing that [...]
Another wash on a training day for me — Craig made the distance at least. I caught a ride at the half-way point back to the start with our coach. Shin splints. Again. A chunk of change later and I hope a new pair of shoes will help alleviate the pain I feel when I [...]
Balance. That’s what I’m trying to find in my life right now. Going back to work has been an eye-opener as to how unstructured/unscheduled our lives have been for a long time. Don’t get me wrong….I’m not going to become ultra-organized and scheduled….heck no!! There’s still plenty of ‘unscheduled’ naps and lazy afternoons in my [...]
“Something’s gotta go wrong cause I’m feeling way too damn good”, a quote from one of my favorite bands, Nickelback. I have had a fairly decent last couple of weeks and I keep thinking of those lyrics as that’s how I have been feeling. I ran my fastest 4 miler, just under 12 [...]
I start a new job today!!! Knowledge Development Specialist at Westlake Ace Hardware!! Fancy title for a training developer. I’m both excited and nervous. I’ve been waiting for a job like this to come along since February and now it’s here (read: don’t screw it up). Neighbor/friend Steve gave me a first-day gift — a [...]
