Jello to Bricks
That’s what my legs felt like this morning! Kevin did a 12 mile run this morning, and I tagged along on the bicycle/concession stand on wheels. Just as we were nearing the halfway point, he sprang the idea of doing my very first brick workout on me. I don’t know if it was the 82% [...]
Swim, Bike, Run, Go to Holland!
Saturday was a busy day that had us up early for Kevin’s 3rd Tri Del Sol at Camp Manitou-Lin in Middleville. This is always a fun one because this race was Kevin’s very first tri ever; so it always feels a little sentimental, going back to where it all began. Sigh. Ok, enough with the [...]
Manic-Depressive Triathlon
On June 6, Kevin completed his first triathlon of the season… and what a manic-depressive race it was! Manic in that he had a huge PR, depressive in that the weather just did not cooperate. Let’s start at the beginning, shall we? We headed over to Monroe on Saturday afternoon. The race was taking place [...]
A Rainy Saturday Morning & Happy May Day!
This morning, Kevin set off on a four hour bike ride. Yes, you read that correctly— a Gilligan’s Island three hour tour, plus one more hour. Then, after he returns from that, he has a one hour run on the schedule. I’ll go with on the run, but a four hour bike ride? He showed [...]
Reeds Lake Tri Recap
Ok, so my last post wasn’t 100% accurate. Our Saturday started out early, but it wasn’t quite bright yet! We may live just up the street from Reeds Lake, but we were still up before the sun! Though, don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. Compared to some races, getting up at the oh-so-late [...]
& Then It Was Friday
Friday is here! We’ve made it! Between having Monday off for Memorial Day and Wednesday off for Kevin’s Grandpa’s Memorial Mass, I only had a three-day work week. So, why am I so exhausted?? Must be all the traveling, parties, birthdays, guests, and out-of-the-ordinary stuff that’s been going on around here. I absolutely cannot believe [...]
Wonderful Weekend
Saturday- Christine & Bill’s Housewarming Party and a stay at the Brady Bed & Breakfast We started Saturday nice and easy, with a relaxing morning at home. Kevin went out for a 10 mile run while I yoga-ed and checked out Gaslight Village’s disappointing sidewalk sales… I don’t think 95% of the stores got the [...]
Alternate Plans
Since Kevin couldn’t tri, and we couldn’t watch Kevin tri. Here’s what we did do—strangely, a lot of it had to do with food! We stopped off at Van’s Pastry Shoppe—a cute hasn’t-changed-since-the-50s bakery—to obtain some delicious baked goods Not pictured: A brief stop at the Fulton Street Farmers Market, which got cut short by [...]
Rained Out!
Major bummer! Kevin’s tri of the week, the Millennium Triathlon, was cancelled due to some pretty heavy thunderstorms that rolled through town early this morning. It had rained through the night and then off and on through the morning hours. As we approached race time, we were hopeful that the weather was clearing up. It [...]
70.3 Miles & 50 Years
What an action packed first day of August! Kevin’s first Half Ironman in Benton Harbor (west side) and my grandparent’s 50th Anniversary celebration on the east side of the state. It seems to be fast becoming a trend, double-booked Saturdays with events on opposite sides of the state! Since Kevin had already been registered for [...]
