15 Mile LSD This Morning
Sunday, August 24th 2008
Pretty darn good run this morning! I was planning on running the NW Trail Run out at Redmond Preserve, but since we got the van late last night and it isn't insured, we didn't feel good about taking it on a long drive. Roy is going to have it checked over today and transfer our insurance over.Ran 5:1 intervals, which felt good. I can probably do 10:1 but my knee and ankle were REALLY hurting at the end of last week's 18 so I was hoping to avoid that. I can "feel" them, but they ...
Volunteering at Danskin
Sunday, August 17th 2008
I just got the spend the morning with 5000 amazing women. My friend, Lisa, Roy and I all volunteered at Danskin Triathlon in Seattle. I decided last year that at least once a year I would volunteer at a race, and once a year I would "support" at a race (run with runners and cheer them on). Last October I did race support at Portland for 6 friends, ended up running MORE than a marathon, and having the BEST time. I did it again for the Seattle Marathon, and again had a wonderful time. So...Loving Life

Today I set up a new triathlon training for one of my clients, which made me want to do another one myself. I love just getting to know them.Then Roy and I went for a run and I turned down a...

I AM AN IRONWOMAN!!!Today I completed the Troika Ironman 70.3. I plan to write a great big long wordy race report, but here's a synopsis:
Woke up this morning really nervous. Felt like I was going to throw up all the way to the site. Secured a spot next to a tree (score, you don't have to rack your bike, or fight to get it down) and set up. Chatted a bit with teammates, and with Roy. He documented EVERYTHING. LOL!
Swim: My watch said 50:50. It's a 1.2 mile swim. I should have don...
