Coach Marni sent me my official Half Ironman training plan at the beginning of the week, and I have to say that I’ve really been enjoying the structure of a set plan. Over the past year, I’ve more likely to wing it than follow a plan, so this is a nice change of pace. [...]

A baby recipe! Baby food pouches RULE. At first, I thought, “Man, those little pouches are priceeeeey. Why wouldn’t moms and dads just buy the jars and spoon it out?†And then I had Henry, who usually hates to have anything fed to him and prefers to do it all by himself. I also realized [...]
Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig news. Back on May 30, I pulled out my credit card and registered for the Miami 70.3 race. Yes. That’s right, my friends. At the end of the day on October 27, I will be able to say (very, very proudly), “I am a Half Ironman!†That’s 1.2 miles of swimming, 56 miles [...]

Whew. I am in such a good mood! Thank goodness. Last week was definitely ho-hum, but I’m looking forward to the upcoming holiday. The Husband and I are doing a a July 4th race (a 4-miler), and I’m entering the stroller division with Henry. Can’t wait! So. About last week’s workouts… Like the rest [...]
