Carls-in-Charge: February 2010
http://carls-in-charge.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
The adventures of a non-athlete in pursuit of satisfying her competitive tendencies. Oh, and other things as well. Down for the Count. I have been very fortunate to be in good health for the most part. I didn't miss any races last year due to illness. So, this is very hard for me. That is all I've doing. This week will definitely be an experience all its own. I hope I am not out for too long and don't lose too much fitness. The first TT of the season is Sunday! So, in the spirit of inspiring, I answered ...

Carls-in-Charge: On the Move
http://carls-in-charge.blogspot.com/2011/02/on-move.html
The adventures of a non-athlete in pursuit of satisfying her competitive tendencies. Oh, and other things as well. This blog has moved to carlsincharge.wordpress.com. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am an average person who plans on putting the phrase 'Anything is Possible' to the test when I attempt to do an Ironman on June 27, 2010. I also am a wife, a dog mom, a happy homeowner and work as an editor for a large fashion retailer. View my complete profile. Just A Girl And A Dream (And Some Beer).

Carls-in-Charge: June 2010

The adventures of a non-athlete in pursuit of satisfying her competitive tendencies. Oh, and other things as well. Coeur d'Alene: Day Two. Friday and Saturday were days to settle into the area. Summer and I arrived to CdA at the same time so I needed time to adjust to the heat. You know you have lived in Seattle too long when 85 degrees feels too warm! I'm not ready for that . yet. Afterwards, I spent a few minutes in the hot tub. There is nothing better than a hot tub after a cold lake swim. After the m...

Carls-in-Charge: Ironman Takeover
http://carls-in-charge.blogspot.com/2010/04/ironman-takeover.html
The adventures of a non-athlete in pursuit of satisfying her competitive tendencies. Oh, and other things as well. 66 days away from Ironman. I am tired. I ache. I feel really behind on life—job, housework, errands, blogging, being a good friend, etc. Ironman now owns me. This may be the closest I get to a 'meltdown' or maybe this is the pre-cursor to a major emotional eruption. 1 Leave my house in Wallingford. 2 Run north towards Greenlake. 3 Run around the outside loop of Greenlake. 15 Take a hot shower.

Carls-in-Charge: Breakthrough Week
http://carls-in-charge.blogspot.com/2010/03/breakthrough-week.html
The adventures of a non-athlete in pursuit of satisfying her competitive tendencies. Oh, and other things as well. So, big surprise, I have not spent much time blogging as I have been very busy swimming, biking and running. And, it's a good thing, too. I'm getting A LOT better. Back in December, I blogged about my new attitude towards running. That slower was better. Well, slow is still better, but I'm not nearly as slow anymore. Back then, I was running about a 13-minute mile. Today? So, long story shor...

Carls-in-Charge: March 2010
http://carls-in-charge.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
The adventures of a non-athlete in pursuit of satisfying her competitive tendencies. Oh, and other things as well. And you thought all I want to write about is cycling and triathlon. You'd only be partially right. When I dreamed up this insane Ironman goal, I also made up my mind that I would get a tattoo to commemorate the journey. Maybe this whole conversation is premature and something will come to me on race day. That's fair. 183; bumble bee (they defy science! 183; koi (symbol of perseverance).

Carls-in-Charge: Coeur d' Alene: Day 1
http://carls-in-charge.blogspot.com/2010/06/coeur-d-alene-day-1.html
The adventures of a non-athlete in pursuit of satisfying her competitive tendencies. Oh, and other things as well. Coeur d' Alene: Day 1. Just 2 days and a few hours left until race day. I feel ready for the race but I'm not sure I'm ready for the journey to end. Of course, I'll do more triathlons and bike races, but you only get to do your first Ironman once. It has been a tough, yet rewarding road, full of both moments of achievement and moments of complete humility. I am excited for more people to arr...

Carls-in-Charge: April 2010
http://carls-in-charge.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
The adventures of a non-athlete in pursuit of satisfying her competitive tendencies. Oh, and other things as well. And then, the sun comes out. Saturday, I raced the Pedal Dynamics Green Valley TT. It was cold. It was rainy. It was just plain gross. Most of my teammates were saving their legs for Vance Creek, so it was just Kat Meckle and me representing the cat 4 tomatoes. Finishing the Pedal Dynamics TT. Apparently, it was nothing that a few mozzarella sticks at Red Robin can't fix. At the start line, ...
