Well, as I mentioned, Stacey Richardson convinced me to begin my training for a sprint triathlon in May. I haven’t run in at least 5 years after having an injury that took a year to heal.  Some parts of me are really excited….and other parts of me are saying “…have you gone nuts completely!!” I know that […]

Friday is a big day….I’m going to the YMCA and see if I can swim!  Now, if I jump off a boat in the middle of a lake, I can stay up, but I need to be able to go back and forth for 250m so I need to learn how to do a real

It’s a funny thing about this swimming challenge, I was so unsure of myself that I did all kinds of things before I finally left for the gym. I cleaned the kitchen; answered the questions on my forum; did the laundry (it absolutely HAD to be done immediately <LOL>), in fact, I procrastinated as much as

Stacey told me that she’s looking for a better triathlon for me to run in the Spring, she feels that Ramblin’ Rose in Raleigh, NC, has 28 turns and is hilly, so it’s too challenging for right now.  No problem, I’m game for whatever she says. So I decided to do a baseline on how

I’m starting to think that I need to do something about this fake book sale problem, but I don’t know what to do.  A man just called me and said he was going to buy my book from Amazon until he saw that it cost a lot less on my website.  The problem is, unless

What an interesting day!  I started off with a car accident that could have been a lot more serious if I hadn’t been hit by a car as lightweight as a PT Cruiser. I was stopped and preparing to make a left turn and a car came up behind me. The driver was blinded by

When I went to school back in 1988, we were taught that repetitive movements caused  a build-up of lactic acid, and that the lactic acid would then cause the muscles to go into a spasm.  It was explained that when we did our massage therapy we were forcing out excess lactic acid, bringing blood into

I had to rent a car to drive from Chapel Hill, NC to New York yesterday.  The only car available was a Chevy Cobalt and there were two problems: the seat didn’t go far enough back for the length of my legs, and there wasn’t cruise control so I was constantly pushing on the gas
