I’m sick but true to my word, it’s not stopping me–although it is slowing me down. It’s not slowing me down in the sense of making me slower running or riding, but it’s slowing me down from getting up in the morning and feeling more and more tired earlier in the day and evening. There’s […]

I’m sick. I said this already. I’m trying to push through and I actually had a great hike his morning with a bunch of Twitter friends, but this afternoon I’m definitely not feeling well. It could be that my new workout schedule is leaving me tired. Or that the four days off I have are […]

I’m not getting better, yet. This is “just” a cold, but a cold can be enough to make someone miserable. I’m not miserable, but I’m not all that great. One of the things I’ve decided is that I am not giving myself excuses. Rain, I’m training. Injured, I’m training. Sick, I’m training. So I’m training. […]

I did my first ride of substance since Livestrong Philly today, a 25 mile ride along some very familiar streets. I was a little sick, fighting the start of a cold. Still, it was harder than I imagined it would be, and I was definitely feeling hungry and a little weak. Interestingly, I had just […]

I’m sick. Not really sick, but a cold that’s bothering me, particularly since I’m just getting my training into gear for the Honolulu Marathon. I can’t let that stop me. Sick or not, I went for a 25 mile ride a little while ago, and sick or not, I’m going to do a four mile […]

On my bike, that is. I finally put my bike back together since I had a few days off after a nine out of ten day work stretch. My left pedal bearings are starting to seize, so it’s likely time to replace those pedals (I love my ancient Times but finding cleats for them is […]

I’m running. I’m not much of a fan of running, but I’ve been doing it more and more recently since the Honolulu Marathon is coming. This is not to say that the Honolulu Century Ride isn’t coming sooner–it is–but I’m more concerned with my running than my riding. I’m finding that the Garmin Forerunner 305 […]

Cramping is my usual downfall in long rides, but they typically start closer to mile 70. I wasn’t all that close to mile 70. I needed to get off the bike and walk; Philly Jen stayed with me. I ended up needing to get off and walk a tremendous amount of hills; previous to this, […]

The Honolulu Century Ride is just a few weeks away and I haven’t been back on the bike since my aborted Livestrong Challenge ride. That changes this week. I’ve been concentrating mostly on running recently because the Honolulu Marathon is also approaching, but I can’t skimp on the riding. I’m off a couple of days […]
