Elicit Substance: August 2011
http://elicitsubstance.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 14, 2011. Almost a Long Ride. Yesterday (Saturday,) I was trying to go for my final long ride before I pack up and head to Texas. I was really hoping to hit 80 - 90 miles to boost my confidence. I told my husband that anything less than 65 miles would be a disappointment to me. Everything was going well until about mile 62 when I was trying to unclip at a rest stop to take a quick break. Back at the car, I took off my shoe to see what was what and, instead of putting my foot on the ground,...

Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Something About Lasagna and Cycling. Well, it's been awhile. Lemme tell you about the Hotter 'n Hell Hundred on Saturday, the 25th, by telling a story that happened the next day. My cousin came over for a visit. At one point, my sister got up, turned on the oven and went over to the fridge and picked up the pan of lasagna whereupon she dropped it all on the floor. It was a beautiful mess that couldn't be salvaged. She was mortified. I knew exactly how she felt.

Elicit Substance: May 2012

Monday, May 28, 2012. Day in the Park. The town and its volunteers have been revitalizing tbe park for a couple of years now. Their efforts are paying off with some great recreation areas for the kids, a marked walking path, and some fresh sheds and such for the animals. I decided to use the trip to try and figure out my camera again. Fresh batteries and a small fidget with the SDM card seems to have done the trick. I don't see a slide. I see stairs and a possible training ground. Hopefully, there won't ...

Elicit Substance: October 2012
http://elicitsubstance.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 15, 2012. Now that Autumn is here, my bike riding has tailed off considerably and a very noisy knee that started out as a, "What the heck is that? Meanwhile, it's just about that time of year when I need to do some evaluations on my strength and mobility. There's really no point in starting a strength training program until I figure out what muscle groups are out of balance so that's my first goal of this week. Available used via Amazon). I'll also be adding in some yoga. I hate yoga&...

Elicit Substance: February 2013
http://elicitsubstance.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 10, 2013. Although there's been no official announcement, the gym where I work is closing at the end of the month. I have other work lined up but it's not in the fitness industry and certainly not worthy of any more typing. Whether I continue in the industry in any capacity remains to be seen. I think that about sums up the past 90 days. except. has anyone else ever gotten a flat tire while on their trainer? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Elicit Substance - The Web Site.

Elicit Substance: September 2012
http://elicitsubstance.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 20, 2012. Semi-Bricked Kind of Life. I was in a quandary the other day about how I was going to fit a running program into my other training - specifically that I have days that I spin and days that I'm on the bike and I have to fit swimming in there somewhere. Yeah, that was my brick. Not much to write about here. You can check it out here. I was particularly moved by her comparison of her injuries to that of the late Jon Blais. Then I go home and eat the kitchen. Wednesday, Septembe...

Friday, September 23, 2011. The Off-Season is On. Now that my races are behind me for 2011, it's time to start the off-season training. Since I still don't have a car, I can't meet up with other cyclists so that leaves me with swimming, weight-training and running. I decided to kick off the weekend with. a cold. That meant I wasn't getting in the pool - no way, no how. So it's been a good week to get that run thing going. 2) I'm starting out at a pace below my 5K time - 4mph which is what on the bike wou...

Elicit Substance: March 2012

Saturday, March 31, 2012. It was a pretty good week, starting right off with Monday (yes, Monday! My husband came home from work, bringing up the mail as usual and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend named, Ben? All excited, I said, "WHY YES! Did he send me a package? Yes, he did.". Can you tell we've been married for over 25 years? All kidding aside, the package was from Ben from Becoming Timberman. Which donates rocking chairs to birthing units in hospital rooms and NICUs. They also provide support to ...

Elicit Substance: January 2012

Monday, January 30, 2012. To Like or Not to Like. I met some friends for breakfast over the weekend. Years ago we started out as co-workers so much of the conversation revolved around gossiping about people we used to work with. I went on to say, "This is my time on Facebook which I now have down to about 90 seconds including log in and log out time:. Then, copy and paste from the following:. And the alternative HOW ADORABLE! SORRY TO HEAR THAT. HAD A GREAT TIME. GOOD SEEING YOU AGAIN! His songs. The...

Elicit Substance: It Happened Here
http://elicitsubstance.blogspot.com/2013/04/it-happened-here.html
Tuesday, April 16, 2013. When I answered the phone yesterday at about 5:45PM, the first thing my sister said was, "You're not doing any more of these races.". My bike is in need of a new large chainring. My car is in need of a new exhaust system. My body is in need of a major overhaul. I have no races on my schedule. I needed some clarification. What are you talking about? On the Weather Channel. I wish I had a conclusion to draw from all of this but I don't. I wish I had answers but I don't. I d...One w...
