Luna Chix Run
Since April, the 2008 Luna Chix Triathlon Team has been doing a run at Runners Grove in Downers Grove the first Monday of every month. These runs are in addition to our weekly bike rides at Waterfall Glen. Last night was such a great night! The weather was awesome, we...
Udder Century
Probably not the smartest thing I've ever done...ride 100 miles the day after a triathlon. However, it really wasn't planned that way. I was planning on a little shorter distance, but once I missed the turn to do the 75 miles...well, I was sorta stuck. It was a...
Perfect day for a run!
Well, for the first time since last July, I met up with some friends this morning to run a few miles at Waterfall Glen. The weather was absolutely perfect for a morning run, though I did have to be talked into leaving my gloves behind! I really have missed running out...
Ridge Run
Well, yesterday I did the Ridge Run 5K. The plan was to just take it nice and easy to see how my hamstring would respond to the running. It really felt bad in the first mile, but the pain seemed to lessen when I adjusted my stride...smaller steps. My heart rate was a...
Baraboo Training
Each year, the Salt Creek Triathlon Club has an annual training weekend in Baraboo, WI. For the past several years, this training weekend has been on Memorial Day weekend. I went a couple years ago and it was one of the toughest training rides I'd ever done. Last...
Women’s Cycling Clinic
For the past 3 weeks, I've been attending a Women's Cycling Clinic (sorry, guys!). They had different categories: Recreational, Advanced Recreational and Racing. So, I signed up for the racing group in hopes of learning a bit more about the world of cycling. I was...
Running and the Hamstring
Went for a nice, short run this morning. Well, I got lost on the trails, so it was a little longer than I had planned, but the conditions were just perfect for a run. The hamstring, however, is not doing so good. I can block out the pain, but I'm trying REALLY hard to...
USAT Coaching
So, instead of spending tons of hours on my bike, like my training plan called for, I spent the weekend in West Burlington, Iowa where I attended the USAT Coaching Clinic. Upon successful completion of several factors, I will become a USAT Certified Coach. I wasn't...
Updating the blog
OK, sorry for "putting the blog on lockdown". I just haven't had much time in the last, what has it been 6 weeks, to post. That, and the fact that I'm really not racing leaves me less to write about! However, since I've been getting lots of emails asking what's going...
