infinitely sustainable pace

Today the Universe seemed to throw every obstacle in my workout path. It started out well enough, I got my body out the door and off to the gym. However, when I arrived I looked into my bag and realized that I didn’t have my spd bike shoes. I didn’t even have my sneakers. Just [...]

This is a bit out of order. But i’m finally home and have access to the shots from our Christmas day ski. My cousin and her husband came up to VT from VA for a skiing holiday. Unfortunately for them, we had a big warm up and the snow conditions were less than optimal. But [...]

It’s the end of the year, a few vacation days left, daycare is closed and the ski pass is not valid between christmas and new years. So I headed on down to my parents in PA with K in hopes that I’d be able to get some good riding done. Doesn’t it just figure that [...]

We all knew it was coming. Winter. And it’s here. Sunday dawned grey and gloomy, the forecast was no good. George headed up to the mountain and I got K ready to go up and do a few runs on the bunny slope. Between starting the car up and actually leaving the driveway the snow [...]

December 1919 degreessnowing so, my goal was to hike for an hour. I debated where to go and whether or not I should trail run instead or ski or what-have-you. I ended up choosing the Stowe Pinnacle Trail which is in general, one of the most accommodating trails around. It’s not nearly as steep as [...]

On Tuesday – I won.  It was a nutty day with lunch out and a work dinner and I didn’t know where I was going to fit in my ride. But I ended up having some time in the early evening and I slipped over to the gym. Those 45 minutes on the bike flew [...]

I woke up today determined to have my butt to the gym directly after loading K on the bus. But then I realized, that I don’t get done with bus duty until 7. By the time I got to the gym, rode for an hour and got to work that’d i’d be later than I [...]
