Our company made a commitment last year to support one of the children’s homes in our area. Besides the monetary contribution the company made they gave a commitment that going forward we would assist the children on a weekly basis with things like home work and stuff like that.

I have had a busy time at work the past couple of days and it has been FANTASTIC! The unfortunate result of it is that I have not been able to blog. Drat! I will take that consequence though.
Other than that not much has been happening. Obviously, besides the usually running, cycling and swimming.
I [...]

Daisy has discovered a new trick. She had figured out how to “break” into our house. We came home from work yesterday and there she was INSIDE! When she figures out how to turn off the Burglar Alarm we will be in real trouble.
I know they say Border Collies are clever but this is ridiculous. [...]

So as I said in the last post, I am pretty happy with my body at the moment. It is doing what I want – now I just need to work on my MIND!! It is seriously letting the side down.
I am a chicken – I don’t deny it. Lots of things scare me! Heights, [...]

The more I train for Ironman the more I realise that human body truly is an amazing thing.
One of my training partners and I were talking about it on one of our long rides. Neither of us are elite athletes, neither of us were particular sporty at school (although we both did sports), neither [...]

I took myself and my bike to the chiropractor on Monday.
Although I LOVE my new bike I have still been battling with PAIN in my right shoulder. Not just a slight ache, real pain. Thankfully it goes away almost the same instant that I get off my bike. So I figured (yes, I am a [...]

Last night was exactly what I needed.
Good food, good wine and great company and no training talk, well almost no training talk. It is a little difficult when 2 of the people I was out with are cyclists I train with.
It was nice just to relax though, to enjoy the company of my husband [...]

7 weeks or 47 days
This is the amount of time I have left till race day. Broken down it’s 3 more weeks of hard training, 1 week recover and then 3 weeks taper. Yikes. That means I only have 3 more long rides left. After that they start getting shorter again. This weekend we [...]

I am not a superstitious person. Really I am not! But sometimes you really do begin to wonder…..
On Friday, yes the 13th, Miss Molly my BLACK cat disappeared. I was a little worried, it was raining and there was thunder about. Normally at the first clap of thunder she comes running inside and hides under [...]
