Hi Pedmom! I have to admit- Saturday morning between the first 2 classes, spinning and the stretch, there was not time to change- though I did freshen up my shirt between workouts. I just threw my laundry in- what a special scent that was (yuck!) Next year, I think I will bring more capris-...

Fun run yesterday was just that- I did about a 10 1/2 minute mile- which is fast for me. Today my right hamstring is on fire- I may pull out one of Cathe's stretching workouts from STS to get the kinks out- already got up in the middle of the night for some Aleve. I'm taking a rest day...

Hey BR'ers! Vacation was a blast! Went to a family reunion for a week camping with 20 of my closest family members from around the country about 30 miles north of Lake Placid NY. We go there every summer, usually the week before Ironman. Ironman has always been a curiosity for me, this...

Good Morning BR-ers! Yesterday, I increased my milage to 6.4 miles in 69 minutes in my run! I am taking a much needed rest day today- legs a bit achy, and chaffing from my iPhone holder. Need to update my music for runs... I'm a bit nervous about RT- feeling guilty about going when I have...

After reading the proposed packing list, I have to ask... Really? 8 changes of clothes? So after stinking up one outfit, i will shower, change into a fresh new outfit to stink up again? Am I just gross? Bridget

Had 2 workouts today. 5am went for a 15mi. bike ride- my friends left without me, I hoped to catch up with them on their path- never did, but had a great run anyway. Took my first fall on a steep hill- no injuries, just hurt my pride. After work, went for fun run at the local bar- beat my...

My first Tri today! Okay, I was volunteering, supporting my friends, and handing out water- but it was my first time witnessing one. It was a sprint. I think I can do the bike and run, but the swim was quite intimidating. It was at our local Y- which is on the beach. It rained all day...

I was supposed to do a 4mi run this morning, but it was pouring outside. If I was a die hard, I would have run anyway. Instead I did Intensity- I haven't done a Cathe workout in months, and wondered how I would do. I wish I could tell you all I breezed through it without any modifying...
