October 13, 2012 Bob's Breast Cancer Awareness Ride

Rode 32.6 miles in 2 hours and 36 minutes! What a lot of fun riding with my friend, Erica, today!

Training run 10/8/12

Today I tried running with a fuel belt loaded with water and Gatorade. Was heavy, but good for longer runs to stay hydrated.

10/3/12 : 4.3 miles in 51 minutes

Since I ran after supper last night, there hasn't been much time between runs, and as you can see from my face, it was a bit warm out there this morning... So, I think I did all right, considering. I don't want to push my knee too much during training.

10/2/12 : 5.03 miles in 50:30

Ran the first 3.1 miles in 29:35!! Happy to have a PR after a bit of a break! Love my new buff to hold my hair during runs!

Happy Running!

Very excited about my new running "partner"... Garmin! She is motivating me more to run outside and prepare for my upcoming races... Next to run... Halloween races in costume, of course!

Turtle Krawl 5K: September 15, 2012

33:07 pushing Alex. Placed 37 out of 115. Not to bad considering all the things that went wrong this morning. Forgot my sunglasses, couldn't find my visor, and worst of all... Forgot my ponytail holder, so my hair was bothering me the entire race! So... I am pretty happy with my time today!

RAGBRAI XL: July 22 - 28, 2012

I did it! 471 miles across the state of Iowa! I have completed RAGBRAI two times now! This year I had less difficulties than last year. I was clearly in better shape, as I did not have to get off my bike for any of the hills! I rode ALL 471 miles! I believe Alex played a huge roll in that... Pulling Alex in his trailer, an extra 75'ish pounds, really helped to increase my strength! Thanks big guy!

It's been a while since I've posted anything... getting ready to head to Iowa to ride my bike across the state again!  I'll try to keep up with pictures, etc.

Knee

Well, my knee is now giving me some issues and I had to do a treatment yesterday. This is keeping me from RAGBRAI training for a couple days. :(  I really need to get out there and put some more miles on!

Showdown 5K : June 9, 2012

My time: 32:29... With a stroller, rain, and spurts of hail... Yes and gusting wind in my face on the home stretch! It looked fine at the start, but changed dramatically! I can't believe I posted a good time with those conditions. I was absolutely soaked to the bone afterwards. Luckily for Alex, he had a rain cover!
