Well, I'm here to check in. The weight work had slacked off quite a bit the past few months. A little too much cycling, not enough lifting! That, however.... has CHANGED as of this week. I intend to get back to "whence I came"!!! Or at least work on it. Monday: Step Aerobics Class at the gym...

In Limbo.... Well, I'm in limbo as to what to do. Thought I was headed for a slump, but I think I'm ok now. :-) Started a Firm Rotation, that lasted 3 workouts. Missed biking, spinning, and trying to vary things. Oh well, that's this week, ask me next week! ;-) Here it is: Monday: Rest...

Gettin' Back into the Swing of things! Hey Folks! Been yet another week. Hard to believe that it was only a week ago we had the victory parade in Boston. Seems like months! :-( I am happy that the let-down blues were only minimal. Maybe cuz I was prepared for it (this time!) and got right...

My vote goes to STEP FIT..... Cari: Step Fit was one of my first and FAVORITE Cathe tapes. It's longer then alot of the step workouts (something like 70 minutes!) I absolutely love the warm up (use to use it for warming up before running) and it just seems to flow. I don't seem to get too...

My Rest Week..... Or as close to a rest week as I'm going to come! ;-) Hi Folks... I take off on Wed. a.m. for the Day Zero of the AidsRide and I'm excited/nervous. Opening Ceremonies are actually Thurs. morning! Our schedule is 85 miles Thurs. & Friday, 110 on Saturday and 50 on Sunday...

Every Race is as individual as the person running it! And don't forget that.... What you have to do is not judge the 10k by the previous 10k you ran 3 mos. ago, but rather, run it NEXT year and see how well you do against yourself on the SAME course! So much plays into running, the course, the...

Well, another week over. Where do they go? Everyone's weeks look great. The holiday in the middle of the week was a bit wierd. Let me get right to it: Monday: Biked 56.21 miles, but was tired. Tuesday: Yoga For Athletes (first two sections) Still don't like Yoga, but KNOW I have to stretch...

Still Jumpin' Is Christi Taylor's new video. It's a hi/lo video that has some excellent music in it. The choreography is not as difficult as some of Christi's older tapes can be (hi/lo Heaven, Happy Hour). it's just a bunch of fun.... And trust me, I never jump very much... EVER! ;-) I ended...

RE: Atta Girl Again! Debra: I've truly appreciated your help along the way! thanx! Nope... didn't cure the "sunburn" problem, BUT the sunscreen under all layers seems to take care of it. So, I should be ok. They mentioned the slow miles, flats, etc... but the problem is, I have hills all...

NanC..... GREAT week!!! I wish you WERE on the ride with me (but there's always that Century you told me about!!! hint, hint!!! ;-)) I've been told I really shouldn't give up cycling, even when the event is over. Have considered maybe BUNGEE JUMPING next... but I don't think it's my style...

Still in the Quandry...... Debra: I thought of you this week, cuz NO! I haven't gotten the biking shorts yet. :-( I still am not real sure about getting them. Might pick up a pair on Tues. night to try them. I did get sunburn and/or heat rash through my leggins'. Nothing major, just never...

RE: tipping my helmet to you! Why thank you Debra! I always read your cycling mileage with awe! I often wondered how anyone could bike SOOOO much! ;-) Now I know I guess. No, I don't train with a group. I have read several books, become best buds with the bike shop people, ask tons of...
