As the Wheel Turns: April 2008
http://alp-asthewheelturns.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
As the Wheel Turns. Tuesday, April 22, 2008. 5 hours, 10 lanes and 1 corkscrew. Finally - Spring/Summer is HERE! No more snow, ice and biting winds. We have finally been blessed with warm days, gentle breezes, sunshine and some spring showers. I have never been so thankful for spring/summer as I am this year. 100 inches of snow and over 180 days without hitting the 70 degree mark.that's enough to drive anyone crazy! This time we chose to go to Doubledays, a bowling alley in Cottage Grove. We chose it...

As the Wheel Turns: President - Elect Barack Obama - Change is Now.
http://alp-asthewheelturns.blogspot.com/2008/11/president-elect-barack-obama-change-is.html
As the Wheel Turns. Tuesday, November 4, 2008. President - Elect Barack Obama - Change is Now. In college, I used to love politics. I even majored in political science, but in the last 8 years I've been very disenfranchised with the American political system. Most frustrating to me is the fact that an individual can win the popular vote in the country but still lose the election. Of course, this is also historic in the fact that Obama will be our first African American president. Though it's a positi...

As the Wheel Turns: October 2008
http://alp-asthewheelturns.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
As the Wheel Turns. Wednesday, October 8, 2008. Look out Micheal Phelps.here I come. I'm happy to say I knocked 10 seconds off my personal best and swam a 5:45! It was hard and it hurt, but I knew that I was swimming well. I'm going to keep swimming 3 days per week through the New Year to improve my swimming even further. I'm going to keep focused on technique and breathing. I can't wait for my next day in the pool. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This kid cracks me up! Hunter is a doll! All the Best Ideas.

As the Wheel Turns: December 2007
http://alp-asthewheelturns.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
As the Wheel Turns. Tuesday, December 18, 2007. Snow Run - The Sequel. Exactly one week after the snowstorm, we got hit with another round of snow from mother nature. Another 5-7 inches of fresh snow on the ground and another Tuesday night run with Peter. This week we were gonna be smarter (or so we thought). We were only going to run for 45 minutes and we were going to run in a primarily residential area where we had hoped more people would be doing some shoveling. So here it is, a week later and I am h...

As the Wheel Turns. Wednesday, June 11, 2008. Race Report: MadCity Half Marathon, May 25, 2008. Several weeks before the Madison Half Marathon, I was actually excited to run it. I wasn't sure how it was going to go, but the 2008 race season was under way and I wanted to see how my training was progressing. We exchanged greetings and I kept moving forward. Mile 5.Mile 6. This run was a great gauge of my run fitness for the start of my summer races. Check out my Lake Mills Triathlon Race Report - 2008.

As the Wheel Turns. Wednesday, June 11, 2008. Race Report: Lake Mills Triathlon 2008. This one is a tradition. It was my first triathlon EVER in 2006 and has become an annual event for me. It's pretty much the first triathlon of the season and everyone is there. That is what makes Lake Mills a really fun tri. You get to see many of your friends whether they are competing or just hanging out. After getting my transition area organized, I put on my wetsuit, slapped on some body glide and headed to the Lake...

As the Wheel Turns. Friday, November 23, 2007. Running for Turkey.and Pumpkin Pie! Thanksgiving Day - it's a day of food, family and football. And, if you are an athlete, it's a day to race. Even if you aren't an athlete and you just want to put yourself in a bit of a calorie deficit for the day, the Berbee Derby is a great way to do it. The race was over and the turkey and pumpkin pie eating could begin! Friday, November 16, 2007. Saying goodbye to the Oz. Saying goodbye is never easy. Whether it co...
