So earlier today a light bulb goes off in my head…since training is down the drain with these fires…I should bust out the trainer! I can set it up inside the house right in front of the TV and just go to town! Well…actually…I wouldn’t be going anywhere :-/ It is getting a little better, [...]

The Hills are Alive

Recovery Sleep
Recovery sleep would be nice, but unfortunately I can’t fall asleep early enough and 8 hours just isn’t enough. I need a good 10 hours of uninteruppted, naturally wake up sleep! I have done a pretty good job of sticking to my plan this week (other than Monday). Here is what I did: Monday – [...]

Castaic Triathlon Race Report
George and I decided that we wanted to participate in a small tri in Santa Clarita. It was relatively cheap ($55) and was local (actually used less gas than going to Zuma). We knew it wouldn’t be chip timed, but it is always good to get out there and do the events back to back [...]

His wife, Susan, was battling metastasized breast cancer and she passed away on Wednesday. Over the past few months [...]

Getting Curvey
Let me share with you my Curves experience! My mom has been going to Curves for about a year now. On Saturday I took her there for a nutrition thing and I ended up signing up for a 2 week free pass (I have no self control). I mostly think my mom wanted me to [...]

The next few races
I’m getting excited! First off, George and I are doing a small tri this Saturday at Castaic Lake. Not even sure if we will have timing chips, but I love the challenge of a race. But what I am really looking forward to is the Nautica Malibu Triathlon on September 13th. Last year I got [...]
