It’s my second favorite month of the year! (October is first, duh.) I get to celebrate my birthday! I’m a huge fan of birthdays. Even now as I’m getting older, I think birthdays are the best. I’m wiser and yet still super hot. Totally joking....

A couple of weeks ago, as part of my marathon training, I ran the Croom Zoom 25K. (That’s roughly 16+ miles.) This was a trail run and as my longest trail run to date, I highly enjoyed it! I’ve been dabbling in trails for a little while now and have...

I know this blog has been neglected lately and I apologize. I always know when I’ve been absent too long as I get an “Are you ok?” email from thoughtful Coach EK. He does know me well. It’s been busy here in Discombobulated land, but busy in a...

Ever since I toed the line at my last trail race, I couldn’t wait to get back out there for this one. Remember, I ran an Xterra five six miler called The Claw and LOVED it. I figured I was good to go for increasing the distance. The “xterra”...

Yesterday I did my final triathlon of the season, the Longleaf International Triathlon. Granted, I only raced two triathlons this season and I felt fairly unprepared for yesterday’s race, but I went with it. It was my own fault for skipping so many bike rides...

I mentioned to you all before that I finally purchased a power meter for my bicycle. This new toy is supposed to help me become a better cyclist. Of course, this isn’t some magical item that turns my legs into those of a Tour de France sprinter, but one that may...

September was a fantastic month with a racecation and lots of fun training with friends. My bike and swim mileage went down a bit, while my run mileage went up a bit. After my race this month on the 16th, I’ll switch gears to more run training. My big race...

HELLO! It’s been a minute and this post has been brewing in my brain for a while now. I finally had some down time to hit the keyboard and get to it. I’ve been coaching masters since about February and I’ve been really fortunate to work with swimmers...
