My sister made a surprise trip to visit me this week so I dragged her along on all my workouts.
Twinsies!

As you can see, I’m already off to a great start at maintaining the blog… 🙂
My goal for the first month of Ironman training is to establish a workout routine that I can stick to and to get in the habit of rolling/stretching frequently. The first week of training was a little unusual because it included a 5k race at work (where I won my AG, thank you very much) and a weekend at Lake Tahoe to volunteer at IMLT (a recap is in the works). I had originally planned an epic training weekend while in Tahoe, but the weather had other plans…
The 80s threw up on me before the run

Hello friends, it’s been a while. This has been a crazy year that left little time for racing. The break was good for me, but it’s time to get down to bidness. I just registered for Ironman Coeur d’Alene on June 29, 2014. This will be my first 140.6!
Who else is doing IMCdA? Any advice for this first-timer?
