This was it. My last BIG training weekend before the taper for Wildflower. And it ALMOST went perfectly. On Friday after work I picked up my fancy new Rudy Project helmet, which I got an awesome deal on because they sponsor the tri club I’m in. It’s such a huge [...]

We just got back from a week in Atlanta (with a night in Asheville, NC), and it was amazing. I’d never been anywhere in the South and was honestly SHOCKED by how friendly and polite everyone was. California, take a lesson. The whole week we were gone, I ran [...] Having friends on the sidelines at CIM made the race a million times better, so when a bunch of my best running pals got into the Way Too Cool 5OK this year, I was excited to make the trek up to Cool, CA (yep, that’s really the name of the [...] None of these are really recipes worthy of their own post, but I always find it helpful to have some ideas for quick meals. These are quick if you’re prepared: I’ve included what I have ready in advance, because prepping a bunch of beans, grains, and vegetables on Sunday really [...] I was hesitant to sign up for the Long Course at Wildflower because I knew it would mean a big chunk of time each week out training. And it is. I’ll be building to about 12 hours a week over the next two months. But triathlon training is going really [...] One of the things we’ve had to get real about since having Ellie is our food. I wish I were more of a budget person because I’d love to know where the heck all the money was going before we had to pay for daycare, because MAN it is expensive. [...] Hideous picture to go with an equally hideous week of running. I was on top of the freaking world after my 57 mile week/200 mile month. It was awesome. And then I got sick. I actually only missed 3 days of running, but one of them was a long [...] I really, really appreciate weekends, and this last one was the best one we’ve had in a while. Dinner with good friends on Friday, a beautiful run in Alameda on Saturday… followed by beer on a patio in Hayes Valley with my favorite college roommate. A new half marathon [...] 
It’s FALL! Last week started with 100+ degree temperatures and ended in the 70s. Running has been significantly more enjoyable, and the sky has been pretty, too. Ellie has a new obsession: refrigerator letters. I don’t even know how many hours she’s spent moving them from the freezer door [...] 
This weekend was intense. And in tents. (Sorry, I had to) Three teachers and a bunch of parents took about 35 sixth graders camping at Mt. Lassen and it was exhausting but so much fun. I hadn’t camped since 2008 so it was really nice to sleep outside again [...] |
