Finding Kona: Interview with Jennifer Wentzel: Prospective IM Athlete

http://findingkona.blogspot.com/2015/05/interview-with-jennifer-wentzel.html

The every day journey toward making a dream come true. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Interview with Jennifer Wentzel: Prospective IM Athlete. When I finally met Jen in March at our team camp I discovered that she is also opposite of me in many regards. She is soft spoken and laid back to my more boisterous, demanding nature. She is fun, and quick to smile. She never backed down from a challenge or looked in the least bit flustered (unlike myself who cried 3 times in the first hard workout.). Last year we real...

Finding Kona: #IamUNBREAKABLE

The every day journey toward making a dream come true. Saturday, April 18, 2015. Announced a contest of sorts when they shared this post:.

Finding Kona: The Grand Canyon: Rim to Rim to Rim

http://findingkona.blogspot.com/2012/05/grand-canyon-rim-to-rim-to-rim.html

The every day journey toward making a dream come true. Monday, May 28, 2012. The Grand Canyon: Rim to Rim to Rim. Somewhere around the beginning of the year, our friends announced that they had to back out of the trip. Though disappointed that we wouldn't get to share this adventure with them, it opened the door for us to make the R3. No one else was going with us, no one would be waiting for us or counting on us. We could approach the trip however we wanted. There are bats diving at my head! I run faste...

http://findingkona.blogspot.com/2009/09/open-season-for-runnerchick.html

The every day journey toward making a dream come true. Tuesday, September 1, 2009. Open Season for RunnerChick. I begin to wave my arms above my head frantically and shout. "HEY! POINT YOUR GUNS IN THE OTHER DIRECTION! YOU CANNOT SHOOT AT ME! I am foaming at the mouth and frantic at this point. The man looks at me blankly. 'It won't hurt if it hits you,' he says. And thanks to using First Endurance's Optygen HP over the last 2 years, I've been. You never know when it's going to pay off. Endurance Optygen...

http://findingkona.blogspot.com/2014/01/you-know-your-coach-is-kicking-your-in.html

The every day journey toward making a dream come true. Monday, January 27, 2014. You know your coach is kicking your A$ in Ironman training when. You're so tired after your long ride you take a nap in your car in between lunch at Sweet Tomatoes and grocery shopping. And the grocery store shares a parking lot with the restaurant. Your spouse begins to wonder if you're regressing because half of your meals are blended in a Vitamix and your bedtime is 7:30 pm. Your 5:00 AM alarm feels like sleeping in.

The every day journey toward making a dream come true. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. I love that about my life. A toast to life well lived. 45 years and counting. Selfie on the way to Snow Valley Peak. Marlette Lake in the foreground, Lake Tahoe in the background. Happy Anniversary, mom and dad! And told her that it was like someone flipped a light switch. I have no idea why, but my body was back in the game. Best I can think of:. Long ride to Sunflower. #fastcats. Mt Lemmon. ready, GO! We arrived on Friday ...
