Ironman Foundation

Awkward turtles and other humorous animals
Awkward turtles Dead bugs Bird dogs and a sense of humor. These are all ingredients for my workouts. The three exercises above have more exercise science/physiology/ kinesiology kind of names, but these are the names that Sam has given them. … Continue reading
Passion and accountability
I know I have written about passion before but I can’t find the post. Forgive me if I repeat myself. Passion What I sensed in Sam, that I quickly realized, was his passion for training and coaching. He wants his … Continue reading

When in doubt, swim
That is my motto for the week from Sam. I like it. Maybe I will just make it my motto. Period. When in doubt, swim. I just paged through my posts and realized how many of them focus on swimming. … Continue reading
Women’s Health 5K
There were a number of things I could have done today. It kept changing. I thought I had one thing scheduled and then wasn’t sure. Had some other opportunities come up but could not say yes because I did not … Continue reading
A little farther
The “danger” of admitting to swimming a mile without stopping is that the next swim workout will be a mile and then some. I love challenges though and, words I never thought I would say, I love being in the … Continue reading
