Humpty Dumpty

By
If only CW- X pants had existed when Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall, they could have put him back together with them!! This is not an advertisement or paid solicitation. This is just my true feelings about these pants. I love them. They have been holding my legs together during both marathon trainings. The other day I learned they make Tri shorts!!! How did I not know this? I scoured the internet to find them. Sold out on all sites. Then I found them on eBay - BINGO! I ordered 2 pair (slightly different). I wore them today for the first time. It was a 2 hr trainer ride inside. The new bike (hereto referred to as BMC) and I have been trying to get along in Aero position but it's been difficult (on my but!). So I put on my new CW -x Tri shorts and climbed aboard BMC. FABULOUS ride!! Love the shorts on my bike just as much as I love the pants running. Part of me dies wish they were capri's but other than that FABULOUS. Another great product from CW-X!!

Let's run a 10K.......

By
This post was from 3/18 - technical difficulty kept me from posting until now. So there was a local 5K/10K this weekend. The weekend before marathon #2. But our marathon #2 is also our dear friend Renee's half marathon #1!!!! Her first!!!! So she wanted to run through race ettiqutte and do a pre-race drill with this 10K. So I signed up. I also signed up my youngest daughter Danielle for the 5K. Danielle's training consisted of 1 0.25 mile run followed by a 0.75 mile walk. That's it. She had side stitches after 0.25. I had knee swelling after out precourse run the previous Saturday which resulted in an Orthopedic visit and cortisone shot. So the plan was, make Renee comfortable, keep the knee safe! We started great! Ran 0.5 then started 1 min run 30 sec walk intervals as planned. It was WARM! Way warm!! Sunshine beating down warm.... In MARCH were last Sunday we had snow flurries. Anyway we ran and got to a point where I saw an arrow pointing left but no person . Until t...

The Inaugural Crystal Coast Tri - FULL BOOTY

By
Full Booty race report. The weather reports all week had stated we would have substantial winds and possible thunderstorms. We had all of that. I had lots of friends doing this race. That was great and we shared some great pre-race time together.  This is also the first race we have had family (other than my youngest daughter) at. That was different!  I think I should share a little pre-race. Jill with the race knew me by first name in March. I need a lot of information to ease my mind and make my plan. She was wonderful. We had been told there would be certain nutritional items on the course but what we were told was very limited.  Soooo plan B was initiated.... Team SPAZ members (my sister and youngest daughter) were recruited for run stop #7 between mile 9 & 10. They were stocked with baby wipes, Kleenex, chicken broth, pickles, jelly beans and pickle juice. Now I feel better and have something to run too. Race day The Swim: 33 or so of us enter the water ...
