Trainin' on a Prayer. Monday, March 16, 2015. Are We Out Of The Woods Yet? Looking at it now. We were built to fall apart. Then fall back together. Both our sit bones were a wreck. That race we couldn't quite forget. To put on our fleecy pants,. Baby, like we stood a chance. Then my old lady strength has us flying, flying, flying. And I remember thinkin'. Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods? Are we in the clear yet? I admittedly h...

Trainin' on a Prayer: First Gnar
http://trainingonaprayer.blogspot.com/2015/03/first-gnar.html
Trainin' on a Prayer. Monday, March 30, 2015. Last week finally brought the long-awaited first gnar rides of the year. I took a PTO day on Wednesday to try and get my stress levels back under control, and in doing so, got very doggedly determined that I would mountain bike that day no matter what. As it turned out, we did get to ride and trails weren’t too bad…for the most part. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. On The Twitter Bandwagon. Beer, Bikes, and Snow.

http://trainingonaprayer.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-last-couple-of-weeks-have-been-bit.html
Trainin' on a Prayer. Monday, April 20, 2015. Back in the Saddle(ish). The upshot of that worky-work blah blah blah paragraph is that I haven’t had much mental capacity for blogging lately, but it’s looking like I should have a few months where I get to rest my mental capacity a bit. Hopefully, I can use that excess capacity on bikes and wedding planning. I'm starting to get my rock skills back, and I had my first-ever clean run of Chicken Peter on Saturday.

Trainin' on a Prayer. Monday, June 29, 2015. Reluctantly About That Base. To go north, you must journey south, to reach the west you must go east. To go forward you must go back, and to touch the light you must pass beneath the shadow.". Quaithe to Daenerys Targaryen in "A Clash of Kings". Reluctantly I made the decision that after returning from Illinois I would focus on shoring up my weaknesses instead of trying to squeeze a few seconds here and there out of my strengths. My weakness? Come With Me on a...

Trainin' on a Prayer: Points of Engagement
http://trainingonaprayer.blogspot.com/2015/04/points-of-engagement.html
Trainin' on a Prayer. Monday, April 6, 2015. You see, as of approximately 5:30 pm on March 31, Frank and I are engaged. When I arrived home on Tuesday night, there was a "Registration" sign on the door. I was very confused, thinking that it was perhaps the largest, vaguest note ever to inform me that Frank had gone somewhere for the evening. When I came in he handed me a sheet of paper, with the following "Life March Checkpoints":. Shred the Gnar of Life. Procure Passport for Adventures. All of the I-9.
