Read More...One week away! Less than 7 days from now, at this moment, I’ll be swimming around Lake Mendota. Hopefully on my second loop or I’m in trouble. I love the word taper! I never really needed it until now. Last week, on my last long ride, I started out and within a few miles, I […]
Read More...I’ve counted up the time left, 8 hours of training left before the big day! Gotta love the taper weeks.

Read More...I’m not sure I’d go THAT far, but running week after week, building on the previous “success”, is making this task easier. I can feel the progress when I go jog for an hour, and am not terribly tired at the end of the jog. It’s even better when the next morning I’m not sore, […]
Read More...I’ve heard of people who love running. I’ve heard there is supposed to be a runner’s high. I may have experienced that once or twice in my life when I was in running shape. There’s a lot of mental work in running, I think. In the past, running was what I had to do for […]
