  • Climbing Out of a Slump

    "You’re in a slump. Put your kit on."  Sal is standing in the bedroom holding my bibs.  I am laying on the big king bed holding my ugly doll with a pillow over my head: "I DONT WANT TO GO!" That is only half true but I am throwing a tantrum so this has to be dramatic. ...

  • Making Up for Lost Time: The Catch Up Post

    The sun came out.  Portland stretched and yawned and shielded her eyes. The bike called, so I came. On Thursday Sal and I hit the road together for the first time in a long while.  We took an old familiar route south to Oregon City, around Lake Oswego, back to Terwilliger and home.  The...

  • Cyclists: You Have to Read This Blog

    Actually, I’m pretty sure that most of you already do. But, just in case you don’t, I have to take this moment to point you to it. This is one of those rare blogs that is both extremely informative and impeccably well-written.  Besides that, this guy truly knows the meaning of PRO and...

  • Just Numbers.

    Sal comes home.  He has been gone ten days. Ten days. His trips do not usually keep him for that length of time. In his absence I become a strange creature.  A bachelor of sorts, hobbling together meals that would never otherwise pass for meals, leaving dishes in the sink. Today is the usual...

  • Not That Hard Core

    This morning I woke up at 5:00am, put on my cold weather running gear, and went downstairs to enjoy a pre-run coffee. "Perfect. Everything is perfect.", I thought to myself as I sipped hot liquid Stumptown love in an oversized mug. Then I shoved music into my pocket, strapped on the heart rate...

  • 73 Ways to Feel Pain

    Oh, the pain.  The sweet, sweet lovin’ pain. This week I got on my bike and rode it straight into the Center of Suffering. addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Feverydayathleteblog.com%2F2008%2F01%2F13%2F73-ways-to-feel-pain%2F'; addthis_title = '73+Ways+to+Feel+Pain'; addthis_pub =...

  • Yoga Blocks and Motivation

    People frequently ask me "how I stay so motivated". It’s true, I’m a pretty high energy person (the people in my life right now are laughing at my use of understatement), but I’m definitely not always motivated.  I was thinking about this yesterday because Skwigg answered...

  • Post-CycloCross Stress Disorder: Someone Turn Off the Cowbells

    For some people it happens after the holidays. So many parties, so many gifts, so much love and lights.  Vacation!  Celebration!  Glee! And then.  Nothing. January hits like a ton of bricks and leaves you curled up on the side of the Holiday Super-Highway, whimpering and alone. ...

  • California Dreamin’: On Video

    Ironically, one of the big things keeping us in California while we talked about the possibility of moving to Portland someday was Sal’s insistence that he "had to ride".  His insinuation in making this statement was that the weather was so bad in Portland that he would not be able...
