The average woman or man is cheered on just as much as the elite first finishers. It’s a small city, struggling to survive – judging by the scores of people from its four neighborhoods…it will. Talk about community spirit! The “Shadow Run” they organized, to support our troops in Afghanistan. A plethora of water and … Continue reading »
First Triathlon Of 2012
My first triathlon of 2012 is this Saturday, June 9th. The Livestrong At The YMCA Greenlakes Triathlon. Proceeds directly benefit those in my community battling cancer. What an amazing event to be a part of! I have met some incredible people through this program. Being able to give back is a privilege. As you know, … Continue reading »
Inaugural Turning Stone Half Marathon, 10k and 5k Races
I’m really embarrased at how behind and out of habit I’ve become on updating my race reports. No really good excuse other than life and all that goes with it. But even though months have passed, it was at this event that I ran my longest distance – my first half marathon on August 19th, … Continue reading »
Do I? Don’t I? Oly Tri?
I have it on my 2012 race agenda to do my very first Olympic distance triathlon. Specifically, Delta Lake – 1500 meter swim, 24 mile bike and a 6.0 run. I am holding off on registering till my tax refund comes in – it is SOOO hard not to sign up now. It has as … Continue reading »

Where Have I Been?
I’ve been right here. I’m still running, swimming and biking (spinning, now that winter is here). Not nearly as much as I was up until October. I’ve slacked off a bit. I’ve got some big goals for myself in 2012 – an Olympic distance triathlon and my first 26.2. So, I’ll have to crack the … Continue reading »
Athleta Iron Girl 2012!!
I’m all signed up for my third Iron Girl! The event sold out here in Syracuse in 25.5 hours – crazy!! I know I still need to post my 2011 Iron Girl race report…I know!! I’ve fallen off the blogging horse and I need to get back on.
Utica Boilermaker 15k – July 9th, 2011
My time? 2:01: 53 – I was hoping to hit it right at 2 hours, but I am thrilled with this. Why? I was so nervous leading up to this race, my long runs (more than an hour) haven’t been as consistent since the Mountain Goat, leading up to the Boilermaker. I realize, that I … Continue reading »

Boilermaker, Iron Girl 2012 and my first 13.1 – Turning Stone Half Marathon! Its been a crazy busy summer between training, working and family time. I’ve really missed writing in my blog, even if its sometimes just for me
Livestrong at the YMCA Green Lakes Triathlon 2011
Quite a mouthful, isn’t it? But what a wonderful cause – the end to Cancer. I’ve lost a Step-parent to cancer and have had my Father beat cancer. This race wasn’t just about my overcoming fears of deep water swimming, it was so much more than that. I felt really good in the weeks leading … Continue reading »
