Oh, Saturday. You see me coming? 🤩💥 • You won’t miss me in my 💡✴️ @saucony puffer. I was skeptical when I got this jacket in the mail this Fall. Little did I know I’d be wearing it for every. single. run. this winter. We have had a “real” winter #inBend and for the first time in a few years I have stayed home to endure the elements ❄️💨🌧. This jacket has been the bees knees. Regulates heat / cold / sweat, it’s visible from far away (because, white-outs 😂) and keeps you dry. 🙅🏼‍♀️ • Bring on the weekend miles. 💪🏼 • #saucony #wewhorun #beseen #visible #hivis #orange #runner #triathlete #wintermiles #ironmantraining #marathontraining #elements #staywarm #staydry #letsgo #noexcuses #stravarun #garmin

Trainer Tuesday is the new Time Trial Tuesday. As we get closer to the race season, the specificity ⬆️, and with the ❄️ weather - a trainer party is where it’s at. • The key to a good trainer ride, is a good workout. Breaking things up into “efforts” makes the time go by quick. Here’s a go-to weekly one for me for those of you looking for some indoor inspiration. The theme for this ride is build - we build the efforts throughout from 🌈 to 💥 • WU: 30’ smooth building effort by 10 watts every 10 minutes. * Activation: 1’ tempo, 4’ smooth / 2’ tempo, 3’ smooth / 3’ tempo, 2’ smooth / 4’ tempo, 1’ smooth. * MS: 15’ build efforts, you pick the effort and how many rounds of 15’ you want to do. I try to make each 15’ round a bit stronger than the next. I aim to do 3-4 rounds. Done as (continuous): 🌈 5’ @ IM watts + 60 cd / 4’ add 10 watts + 70 cd / 3’ add 10 watts + 80 cd / 2’ add 10 watts + 90 cd / 1’ @ 💥 effort + 100 cd / Take 5’ easy between each round. * Cool down. Good job. 😅👊🏼🚴🏼‍♀️ • #trekbikes #clifbar #wahookickr #wahooligan #gozwift #rideon #indoortraining #indoortrainer #trainerride #workout #workoutoftheday #letsgo #intervaltraining #wintermiles #paincave #ironmantri #ironmantraining #fitness #swimbikerun #hardwork #✅

I also have a long-standing BLOG, I update less frequently than I used to, but when I do update the blog it's usually worthwhile –or – at least I like to think so.

We have an awesome couch. It's bright orange and modern looking. It's been in our living room for almost two years and up until the end of August this year, I have sat on it maybe only a handful of times.
