infinitely sustainable pace

this must be one of those weeks of rest and recovery. you know, go hard for a few weeks and then back off and then start building again. This is the first that i’ve really noticed. What I’m noticing is that i’m charged with energy. Now maybe part of it is from being sick this [...]

  it was an approaching collision that couldn’t seem to be avoided. first, I had a busy friday. Instead of getting to the gym first thing, I helped to escort a pickup truck worth of junk from our basement. Then, after a day full of meetings, I squeezed out early to take junior to have [...]

woke up this morning to a few inches of fresh snow. we haven’t had any new snow for a few weeks, so it was overdue but i have been enjoying the lack of fresh snow as far as riding bikes goes.   today i had a treat in my schedule – a run! after the [...]

fortune smiled upon my bike riding schedule today. i had a clear afternoon, and knew that I would have to work in the evening – so i took advantage of the time to get out for an actual outside ride. I’d recently met another woman in the area who is actively out and riding this [...]

Friday’s plan called for an hour hike so I headed up to the Stowe Pinnacle trail. I thought that snow conditions would be pretty good for a snowshoe/crampon-less hike, and i was right. there was good traction and a well packed down trail. The weather was warming up a bit, mid-twenties and the sun was [...]

For anyone who lives in any sort of a metropolitan area, this might sound strange. But for others like me who live 45 minutes from the nearest shopping area of merit, you might understand. I never get out to go shopping for clothes. Not unless I’m traveling for work or perhaps if I’m visiting parents. [...]

This was my view for an hour and a half today. Same on the schedule for tomorrow. It’s doable, but it’s not fun. Neither would be riding outside in  this cold, cold  weather. Honestly, it wasn’t as  bad as I was expecting. It’s been a rough week. Since AZ I’ve had an insatiable hunger. Just [...]
