Howzitgaun,
I realize my greeting this week is technically English,
or Scottish to be precise in "dialect," but I couldn't resist. My
latest addiction for passing the time during a jog, on my trainer, or
at my CAD tube at work are "Coffee Break Spanish" podcasts. I have
arbitrarily decided to brush up on my Spanish, and this is a pretty
easy and portable way to do so. What's great is that the narrators of
the podcast are Scottish. What's even more great is that they are
speaking Spanish Spanish (as opposed to Mexican or Puerto Rican Spanish

Sawa dee-ka,
Winter has taken a foothold, but overall, we
really are getting off pretty easy this year. I hope you are all
staying warm and motivated. Here's some inspiration to get psyched up
about next season:

Last year, many members voted to get new kit. Now is the time to get a
design pinned down and go with it. However, my designs have evoked the

Sveiki,
Whoowhee! My W2 just arrived, the semester is in full swing,
and the month is half over (don't know if that's a good or bad thing.)
Madness has ensued! I have found time and again that, if I can just get
out the door/into the water/onto the trainer, I feel so much better ten
minutes in. We have tons of stuff coming up over the coming weeks to
give you a chance to get going.

Happy New Year Members!
I hope you are all doing wonderfully so far
in this, the fourth day of a new decade! I, for one, certainly enjoyed
a little holiday hiatus, but races that were once "not 'til next year"
are suddenly within sight.
To kick off the year right, here is some news from our great sponsors,
followed by some tips/opportunities to get on with the resolving.

Running Fit was
recently named one of the top 50 running stores in the nation at the
recent Running Event in Austin, TX. See why by checking out their

Heisann,
I had an eye opening experience this week. Because I no longer have any
sort of race to look forward to (read: looming over my head,) I have
been partaking in more casual workouts as of late. This includes
spinning at several of the local gymnasiums. After an intense trainer
ride on Sunday at Hyperfit, I wanted a quick recovery ride. I headed to
one of said gyms, struggling with a bad "case of the Mondays." I had
SPD shoes, a towel, and a bottle of water, but I was in no way prepared
for the class. Within the first 15 minutes, 75% of the class was

Asham, akkam,
It's time to dig the Yak Trax out of the closet, and probably the
windbreaker, too. Despite all of my whining about the cold, I love
running in the snow (except when it's April snow.)
Last fall, Jon and I were training for the Phoenix marathon in January.
Our long runs were always scheduled for Sundays. One Saturday, I was
checking the forecast for the next day, knowing that we had somewhere
around 18 miles on tap. There was already snow on the ground, and the
low was predicted to be in the mid-twenties - hardly favorable

Hafa Adai,
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving, and are doing
well as we head towards massive eating season. Here are some workouts
to keep you in check in the mean time.

Gobble, gobble, gobble,

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I write to you from Atlanta, where I have just completed the Atlanta Half Marathon with Jon and my childhood best friend. She had never done a race of any sort, nor had she run over six miles, but she signed up anyway. I am happy to report that we all finished, and are now ready to do some serious eating.

Dia Duit,
As I write this week, I am listening to "If you think I'm sexy," a
dreadful yet classic work by Rod Stewart, mostly because Jon won't stop
whistling the Star Wars them, and I consider this a decent
counterattack (by the way, has anyone ever noticed the resemblance
between Rod Stewart and Richard Hammond from Top Gear?)
All this aside, it turns out this song will likely be a great song for
an indoor workout. As the days have become shorter, darker, and colder,
my ambition to do much of anything has waned significantly. For those

Muribwanji,
First off, I want to thank everyone who came to the member party for
the great company and delicious food. Also, I would like to thank Mike
and Hope Fitzsimmons for letting us invade their home.
This week I am writing to you from Evansville, IN, and I have decided
to make this trip somehow enriching. This not being my first time here,
I know that this is a serious challenge. Here's what I have learned so
far: there is a country song with an allusion to Stephen Faulkner,

2009 Traverse City Triathlon Report

Mon, 08/24/2009 - 18:14 — rusty

I heard about the Traverse City Triathlon from a friend of mine last week and signed up just before the online registration deadline Thursday night.  Sadly, this meant that I missed out on the great TC Tri t-shirts that were included in the early bird race packets.  Sigh.  Next year I'll make sure to sign up on time...
