I’m guessing that not many people would put the words blessings and grief together but I could see no other way. Also I promised myself I would not write one more sad post about grief and losing people that I love but……hang in here with me, I promise this is more about joy than it […]
Interruptions on the Run…
February 18, 2021 by
Someone very wise once told me that it is the spaces between the notes that truly makes the music. I wonder if that holds true for interruptions on the run. I don’t think so ..insert eye roll. Way back when in 2017 I was on a serious running kick. I was starting out with a […]
Trying to overcome my swimming anxiety…
January 10, 2017 by
Yes I have swimming anxiety. Not the kind that makes me fearful to go into the water. As a matter of fact I’ll be the first one to jump in the deep end with my grandkids and the last one to get out. I love the water. I hate the water. Wait..what?? It’s true. If […]
The Bike Trainer almost won…. The gadgets are taking over
January 12, 2015 by
It was one of THOSE days last Tuesday. The New Year brought us new gadgets and inspiration to get the old gadgets up to speed. So we found someone who actually knew what he was doing in the audio/video field to fix what many others had mucked up, and get the new stuff set up […]
Good-bye old friend….
February 21, 2014 by
It’s that time of year again. I have avoided it for several years but it is a must this year. It’s time. I have to say hello and good-bye and both will be painful in a way only women can understand. My time came earlier than for most of you. I have to …I have […]
Asking for a do over as I begin again on my virtual triathlon
February 11, 2013 by
Well I had good intentions of starting my virtual triathlon from Virginia to Florida on Jan 14th. Well as they say: Sh*&t Stuff happens, like life. Also had good intentions of posting my progress on a weekly basis. (see above) Wish I could get a do over but lately I have been like a dog […]
Join me as I Virtually Tri my way to Florida!
January 15, 2013 by
As I write this I am mourning the loss of the perfect weather we were promised for this past week-end and did not get. All week long the weather guessers kept saying it was going to be 70 degrees on Saturday and Sunday. Even for Virginia that is unusual. I pictured myself running and biking […]
Oh Mr. Race Photographer I’m ready for my close-up
November 27, 2010 by
As I sat down to edit this post I started to smile wondering if this really was a post about how to get a good race photograph or just an excuse to exhibit a rare but good race photo of myself. A little of both. As my friend and web designer Sherra said to me […]
Do these bike pants make my butt look big?? It depends….
November 18, 2009 by
The old saying “Once you learn how to ride a bike you never forget” is true except riding a bike when your 10 years old and then again when you’re in your forties is a whole different kind of ball game ride. This is what I learned after several rides: Some guy(s) had alot of […]
