1. I get irrationally annoyed when places don’t accept my AmEx card. Sometimes I don’t want to use a Visa or Mastercard, OK? 2. My sisters made me buy these wedges from Nine West last time they were in town, which turned out to be a fabulous investment. I wear them almost every day to … Continue reading
Did you know there is more to life than triathlon? No? Me neither. Or at least I’d forgotten. My lovely girlfriends came over last night for our August book club meeting. Because I’m in taper mode and completed my 4000m swim in the morning, I was actually able to attend (rather than pass hostess duties … Continue reading
Last week I finally discovered my mantra (I KNOW, late to the party) and that, along with the realization that my big race is less than nine weeks away and I’ve been training hard since January, got me thinking about why I do all this crazy stuff. Sure, I love it, and spent a lot … Continue reading
I had the chance to go home for a few days earlier this month. I don’t get to go to Savannah often, but this trip was for a specific purpose — my baby sister’s debutante ball. That’s right, y’all. I’m from the South. Here’s the basic idea: it’s a huge summer of parties followed by … Continue reading
I’m getting amped to race the DC Tri sprint on Sunday — hooray for short, sweet, balls-to-the-wall events! 1. I have a pile of ironing from here to the moon that I just refuse to tackle. I actually don’t hate to iron, but it’s the process of setting up the board, heating the iron etc. … Continue reading
I’ve been a bit at a loss for blogging recently. Life continues as normal — well, as normal as 15-20 hours per week of training allows — and work has actually been busy, so I generally have to restrict this to my limited evening hours. In any case, here goes. 1. DC — for whatever … Continue reading
Man, am I ever ready for the weekend. 1. I got my hair cut today for the first time in…uh…a long time. It felt amazing. 2. I have really long hair now, but as a college junior I had a really short Victoria Beckham bob. I was living in London for the summer, walked into … Continue reading
I’m tired. It’s hot. I’m ready for the weekend. Again. 1. I really need to get my act together on the whole stretching/PT/core work. I’ve never been much for recovery or anything outside my main workout, and I find it really hard to get motivated to pull out my yoga mat and do crunches and … Continue reading
1. I work from home (almost) every Friday. This is very good for my sanity. 2. I have a major sunglasses fetish. I tend to buy them impulsively, and $200+ price tags definitely don’t deter me. 3. I have the entire Adobe CS4 suite on my personal computer but still haven’t really learned how to … Continue reading
Better late than never, right? This will be short and sweet — I’ve got an early morning ahead. 1. I’m one of a rare breed — I was born in D.C. My dad was in the military and doing his residency at Walter Reed. It may have been okay back in the late 1980s, but … Continue reading
