Being Lent and all I thought now would be as good a time as any for a progress report on my Whole Foods Diet Initiative. I think I started this late last year to stave off holiday/between training cycles weight gain. To review, here are the rules (as I play the game): Minimize/eliminate processed foods [Read More]
Pool Running 101
I’ve received lots of questions on how it is I do this pool running I’ve been rambling about lately. As I mentioned before, the water and I were not friendly before I tried pool running so jumping in the deep end was no small feat for me. But I sucked it up took the plunge. [Read More]

Week 8 of Boston Training is Complete: 40 miles?? Halfway to Beantown and the plot thickens. I got a diagnosis for my affliction, coupled with a moratorium on running.

Group Cycle Redux

Training Recap
Week 7 of Boston Marathon Training is complete: 30 miles Sadly none of those miles were running ones as my achilles is still out of commission. I’m trying my best to give it a thorough rest rather than push too hard and pay the price of having it messed up even longer. The mental aspect [Read More]

We’re here to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day because a certain someone is too busy cycling her brains out and watching the Olympics to come over and blog.
