amytrigirl: October 2014

http://amysrunningaround.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 16, 2014. So when I said "I'm retired", what I meant was. (2014 in review). Ah yes, fall leaves swirling around outside on this picture perfect, Indian Summer day. For the most part, my 2014 race season is over, save for a couple of potential short running races I may do including Monster Dash 10 miler, Drumstick 10k and Polar Dash. Except for a nagging hip and psoas issue, it's been a pretty good year filled with lots of fun races and events. Fargo "1/2" - May:. I had high hopes for th...

amytrigirl: November 2012

Sunday, November 18, 2012. Why I am Delusional. I am coming up on (yet another) birthday. The odometer, as they say, is turning over – again. While this birthday isn’t a milestone per se, it does represent an increasing digit that seems to happen faster and faster every year. A funny quirk about the governing body that oversees all things triathlon is that participants must race as the age they will be on December 31. I’ll only actually be for 42 days of the year. For example, I’ll be 54 soon. All that s...

Wednesday, June 11, 2014. Call me a weenie if you must. Best laid plans and all. Woke up last Saturday morning at 4:00 am to rain. Not drizzle. Rain. And thunder. Nothing like a thunderstorm on race day. The only thing better is a cold, windy rainstorm, which we had. Trifecta! The ever hopeful optimistic I am, I still packed up and headed out to Lake Rebecca. Storm had to blow over sometime, right? I grabbed my wetsuit and went back towards the lake to wait out the rain in the bathroom (also has the priv...

amytrigirl: August 2012

Tuesday, August 28, 2012. Day Two: Conversations with Demons. But no. By the time I got back to my hotel from Monona Terrace, my Coach had sent me a text with a revised training plan. Sunday now called for a two loop bike ride and a 40 minute run. Two loops and a 40-minute run". Strangely, those little demons found me at the Residence Inn! Hmmmmm. But I have to check out of the hotel! I have to drive all the way back to Minneapolis! Enter stage left: The good demons: "Time to nut up",. 2) My pace slowed ...

Wednesday, October 31, 2012. To run, or not to run.that is the question. Hubby and I are ready to go to New York on Friday morning so we can run the New York Marathon on Sunday. As of right now, Marathon Officials say the race is on; that adjustments might be made, but come Sunday morning, runners should be able to get over to Staten Island to wait for the race to start. Honestly, I have some mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I am THRILLED. To be running the marathon and ECSTATIC. Honestly, we ...

GoBigGreen: Catching up....

http://julia-gobiggreen.blogspot.com/2015/05/catching-up.html

Dartmouth Graduate and Roger Federer Fan who spends most of her time working, cycling, swimming or running. But watching Grand Slam tennis is still the BOMB. Monday, May 11, 2015. I started a race report in march, it never got past the initial draft phase! Do i want to do this? And honestly winter or march or even APRIL for that matter in MN arent the best months to decide on your season when its sleeting and 40 and your skin hasnt seen the sun since September. Team Lidocaine cleans up nice. I came home ...

GoBigGreen: Is it still January?

Dartmouth Graduate and Roger Federer Fan who spends most of her time working, cycling, swimming or running. But watching Grand Slam tennis is still the BOMB. Saturday, January 24, 2015. Is it still January? Relationships dont always work that way. And to quote or misquote one of many instagramm sayings. Dont let someone try to water you down because they cant take you full strength." or something like that :). But running in florida in warm and humid is a bit easier than running on ice and snow in MN so ...

Gear West Duathlon Race Report. Ok got some pics and actually there is a Video up at the finish so you could watch yourself finish. Sorta fun. Considering i passed a gal within 100 Yards of the finish. I never miss a chance to run down a drop shot. Something was funny. I am not sure what:). ITs about 18 miles, not quite 30k ...
