Cheers to the Three-Day Weekend!
Hooray for 3 days off! Technically, it’s our second three-day weekend in a row because we took my birthday off to celebrate. However, this feels more like it as, due to magic, we are not traveling and there are no races! We got the weekend off to a great start with actual, factual SLEEP! We’ve [...]
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% [...]
In Celebration of 5
The morning of our anniversary dawned clear and gorgeous! Blue sky, puffy clouds, warm but not too hot temperatures. It was almost a carbon copy of our wedding day. How perfect was that for our anniversary?? For a multi-sport athlete, or at least the one I live with, there is no such thing as a [...]
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 [...]
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday
Gorgeous colors, no? Cute runner, too, I’d say! We woke up verrrry early to meet Mark and Kevin’s Dad for breakfast. “Energized” by said breakfast of champions, we came home and took a nap! (Before hitting the trails for a run/bike!) To make room for our new table, we made plans to shuffle our current [...]
