bikin’, but not on the road again – yet!

Hit the stationary bike for the first time in a long time today at the gym.  Not happy with the condition of my legs.  My recumbent stationary bike at home died just before the holidays which has really hurt my training and my legs.  I really liked that thing.  Wish I could replace it.  Have [...]

the journey

In the last week, I’ve done 3 runs.  So thankful!  The first two just under 4 miles and then a 5-miler today.  Just a hair under 10 minute miles right now.  I can’t complain since coming off an injury.  Just happy to run.  I will say my system is hurting right now from the 5-miler…. [...]

slow but steady

Did a run in the cold today.  Slow, but steady.  Loved it.  Feel great.  Even did a few sprints today too. The great and tough thing about running is that you do not stop!  As a tennis player growing up and through college, then into adult play, you get breaks in tennis….between points, on changeove

2011 Tri update

After finishing up my 2010 tri season with an Athena win at the Trek Women’s Series in Columbus, Ohio and fun time at the tri in Myrtle Beach, although the competition south was WAY tougher than north, I plodded through the Medoc 10 miler with a fibular stress fracture (word to the wise from the [..

tennis any won?

NC 4.5 women’s state championships at Pinehurst….on hard courts….ouch.  Hurting all over.  Joan and I won all our matches, but it was ugly.  Down every match 3-0, 4-1, even 5-0 in first set.  Came back and won all of them, but not without a struggle.  Slow to start, with occasional shots demonstrati
