It’s been a challenge to find internet access, and to be honest, spending time on my computer has been low on my priorities. I am staying with my Coach, Dr. Mike in Kailua, which is on the windward side (rainy side, East side) of Oahu. It is beautiful here, and I couldn’t ask for a […]

Final (just one)
I got my first gift of the season today. It’s a picture CD from the World Championships. It’s funny, these pictures make it look quite a bit harder than I remember. Speaking of walks in the park, (and poor transitions). I took my Organic Chemsitry final today. I killed it. I actually have no idea […]
Tortured kitty, Bananas and Physio Testing
Look at this picture. Click on it to see it better. My sister is 27 and still torturing animals (that’s his tail she’s grabbing.). Troy is the first pet I’ve ever had that had a tail (Manx – born without, Spaniel – docked, gerbils – pulled off), which is still a novelty to most of […]
Some Pictures…
Aside from teaching chem lab partner how to do overhead squats, I haven’t done anything interesting this week, so I’m posting pictures from last weekend and narrating them like a slide show. Don’t worry, my muse will return. This picture is crap. My buddy Noah visited for Thanksgiving, and I got to see him for […]
Happy Thanksgivin09999999999999999999999999999999999g!
This post is for my family and friends (including my cat, Troy, who thought the post title needed changing). May you all have many thanks. I ran a 5km Turkey Trot this morning in Tacoma. Kurt and I forgot out cameras, so we don’t have a picture of how cool we looked after both nearly […]
Do What now?
This week my coach, Dr. Michael McMahon gave me the rare opportunity to do whatever I wanted. I figured the season was over, and that meant I could do some new activities, maybe row with my mom and sister, rock climb, hike, or maybe something crazy, like just chilling. My creative thoughts were overwhelmed by […]
Running with Dad and Red Lace
The past three days I’ve been running with my Dad (he rides his bike). He’s hurting because he hasn’t been out with me in months. Today we ran my 10k loop which turns out to be 12.2km. It has a nice hill from 3k to 5k,where I see how far I can get ahead of […]
Slumber Party
I am exhausted. I thought I would get back from my last race and be ready to party like a rock star, but alas, my bed is the only venue I’m interested in. Today I was supposed to meet some people from Advocare at a product show they put on in Seattle, but I fell […]
My Future’s so Dry, I Gotta Wear Socks
Treasure Island Triathlon is now a Duathlon. I have to say, the ecological damage the oil spill is doing means a lot more to me than the fact that I now have to run 6.5km really fast in order to get into a good group on the bike. All the poor birds! A little knowledge […]
My Mitochondria
This is the Historical Fremont Bridge in Seattle. My mom didn’t take up rowing until she was 50, but even with a late start she’s still at the top of masters rowing. She races against former Olympians at FISA World Championships, and makes mothers all over the world go home with tears in their eyes. […]
