Hello friends! It’s time for a weekly update of my workouts etc. from April 2- April 9! The weather finally started sucking a little less (except today there was like an inch of snow on the ground when I woke up). I mean it’s still a little cold, but highs are now pretty consistently in… Continue reading Workouts from 4/2-4/8

Workouts from the week of 3/26
Hello everyone! I haven’t been very good about writing on this blog recently, as nothing exciting has been going on. I also really haven’t had any funny stories to tell either. BUT ANYWAY. I’ve been thinking that maybe every Monday I will start posting the workouts that I did the previous week. I will be… Continue reading Workouts from the week of 3/26
WATER!
Now I consider myself a sort of connoisseur of water, if you will. I mean I DO work in the water division at EPA, and I used to swim, and I regularly bathe in water. BUT I’m here to talk about drinking water! So I have always loved drinking water. The only other thing besides… Continue reading WATER!
My Triathlon Story
How did I get into triathlons? Probably the same way people get into heroin I guess. I kept doing running races but I just needed MORE. It all started when I was five years old. That’s when my swimming career began. Man, I loved swimming. Some may say I was obsessed. I was pretty decent… Continue reading My Triathlon Story
My Current Training Situation
My race schedule is almost completely official! Two days ago I signed up for the Flying Pig half marathon, which will be my 5th half. I finally also decided which half Ironman I’m going to do this summer. DRUM ROLL PLEASE… Ironman 70.3 Steelhead! I also signed up for this one on Monday! I really,… Continue reading My Current Training Situation
2018 Race Plans
So I just posted this morning about becoming AN IRONMAN ALL WORLD ATHLETE!! That is so exciting!! That basically means I get to wear a fancy swim cap during races and cut in line during race registration. I’ll probably just roll up to races in a limo wearing a full length mink coat and have… Continue reading 2018 Race Plans
That MRI though
Last Friday, I got the MRI on my pelvis. The last/ only MRI I have ever had before that was on my knee, so during that MRI, only half my body had to go into the machine. If you have never seen an MRI machine before, it’s basically this giant ass tube-like structure with a… Continue reading That MRI though
Race/ injury report
Well damn! It’s been a minute since I have written anything! Two fortnights have passed since I had written to you last about my horrible incident with a vacuum cleaner. Let me tell you A LOT has changed since then! I will consider that day a turning point in my life. Okay like not really.… Continue reading Race/ injury report
Run like United Airlines wants your seat
I can’t believe how many people have asked me advice on running and triathlons! It makes me so happy because I really like helping people and also really like talking about running and triathlons (I try not to talk about them constantly during my day to day life because I don’t want to sound like… Continue reading Run like United Airlines wants your seat
My first marathon
So I ran my first marathon two days ago and it hurt like a bitch. But like in a good way I guess. I was moderately well-trained for this race. I say “moderately” because I had to take about two weeks off in mid-march due to some weird hip flexor issue that started after running… Continue reading My first marathon
