The 14.06 Sprint Triathlon

Good evening!  Well…we made it back in one piece!  Actually, the husband had it easy on the drive home. No fair! Soo…We woke up around 5:15am, packed up, checked out, and headed off to the race site at the Freedom Aquatic Center on George Mason University’s Prince William campus.  I ate a cinnamon raisin bagel [...]

Triathlete

That’s me!! Just a quick post to let you know that I finished my triathlon. Chip time was 1:18:35! I am VERY happy with this time since my goal was just to do it in under 1:30.   I never imagined I’d do it under 1:20! We’re on our way home to Chesapeake now. Wish [...]

Elizabeth River Run 10K

Afternoon!  I’m getting ready to go find something to munch on so I’ll make this as short as possible. This morning I got up around 6:15, let the dogs out and headed to Portsmouth for the Elizabeth River Run 10K.  I thought I might hit tunnel traffic even though it was a Saturday morning b/c [...]

Triple Berry Dessert & Race Photos

Good evening!! Gonna be a short one tonight.  Nothing too exciting to report.  Sometimes that’s a good thing. I’ve been keeping busy trying to finish the mound of laundry taking over our bedroom. After work I came straight home and started tomorrow night’s dinner.  (You’ll have to wait until tomorrow for that one.) Dinner TONIGHT [...]

Cinco de Mayo 5K

Good morning!!  I’m getting ready to head to the home improvement store to see if I can’t pick up some more flowers while they’re 5 for $10.  I have a huge garden to fill! Yesterday I got up early and drove down to the oceanfront to run the 1st annual Oceanfront Jaycees Cinco de Mayo [...]

Catching Up

There hasn’t been a whole lot of excitement going on around here this week.  On Tuesday I made Almond and Pecan Encrusted Tilapia.  Tuesday night I went to the gym and did 700 meters in the pool and then toweled off, pulled on work out pants, and jumped on the stationary bike for 5.5 miles.  [...]

Feeling the Endorphins

Let me start at the beginning of the day.  It should go pretty quickly since I can’t take pictures of my food at work.  Of course, I could have taken pictures of breakfast before I left the house, but it wouldn’t have looked like much before putting it together. I had two pieces of whole [...]

A New 5K PR!!

Hello!!!  I know it seems strange, but I ran a 5k today, on a Thursday at lunchtime.   It was the Fools Rush In 5K held on a Navy base.  Guess they don’t care whether it’s on a weekday or not. They don’t use chips for their races and who knows how long it will [...]

The Weekend & Race Photos

Hello!!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  Mine was pretty uneventful.  Friday night Josh and I went to our new favorite sushi restaurant, East Asia Grill.    I started with a salad and forgoed (forwent?) the soup and/or dumplings. I had a Beach Spicy Roll that actually had raw stuff in it which I didn’t [...]
