4-mile run to the The White House and Black Lives Matter Plaza with Trayon STjohn, Travis, Diego and Stephanie Finigan. We're BACK, baby. Saturday morning runs with my buddies - oh, how I've missed you all! strava.app.link/IWdMjLSmhgb

I asked some @FCPSFairfaxHS alum girls walking the track today to take these photos after my 1mi run, bc I ran it in bike gear post-7mi-bike-ride for my triathlon training. I HAD to get the bike grease on my leg in the photo. strava.app.link/9HgB5bimmgb

Another day. Another triathlon brick workout: 1hr SportFit Lab swim drills & a 1.5mi run. Another makeup-less shot of me. (Someone, PLEASE suggest a great waterproof mascara!) I'm tired. But I feel stronger in Week 11 training in 3 sports than my peak of 18wk marathon trainings.

An early-morning 5K run (3.1 miles) in 58-degree temps - before the heat sets in. strava.app.link/qlyyWwyzpgb

Today's triathlon training: an extra 1,650yd SportFit Lab swim drills instead of a 45min run. Swimming is hard, so I'm doing more so it's NOT so hard. And, to help me go faster on my 27lb hybrid bike, Chris at REI replaced my knobby tires w smooth ones. strava.com/activities/534…

Today's triathlon training schedule: a 40-minute run. I took it easy to protect my osteoarthritic hip - and LOVED the cool fresh morning air that carried me forward. Did I ever tell you how much I love ro run? strava.app.link/QKu0kwIWxgb

Week 11 of triathlon training in the books Sunday, with an 825-yard swim, followed by a 7-mile bike ride and a 1-mile run in near-90-degree temps. The 1st brick workout where I had to do consecutive workouts in all 3 disciplines. strava.com/activities/534… pic.x.com/b1Y2Tbx11O

Rest day birding walk: 2.76 miles. strava.com/activities/537… #strava

HUGE triathlon training milestone. Although I swam my fastest sprint during 1050yds of hard drills, that's not it. My victory: I tested a waterproof mascara & it was STILL THERE after the drills & my post-swim shower. Yes. Some days I'm such a GIRL. strava.com/activities/539…

A 1.25mi swim leaves SERIOUS Goggle Eyes. Needed to show myself I'm ready for a 750m swim for my upcoming sprint tri. So I swam my fastest 50yd warmup, then swam 2,150yds more wo resting. Now I feel I'm almost ready for 750m (820 yds or almost a half-mile) strava.com/activities/540…

Knocked out 6.2mi today with some of the best folks on Earth: @T_Wallace12, Shane, Mariele, Tray & Travis. These are some of my dear friends I know from Back on My Feet, & and life feels more normal now that I can see their faces & run with them. strava.com/activities/541… #strava

It was an Eagle View Elementary School kind of morning. After interpreting for a virtual SpecEd meeting, I walked to Eagle View to cast my ballot in today's Virginia primaries. It was heartwarming to see staffers handing out congratulatory yard signs drive-by-style to rising middle schoolers.

So lucky to have AllisonKlein as a friend. I had a 1.5-hr window for a bike ride before Wednesday's10-hr workday. She fit it into her schedule AFTER a 1.5-hr swim - & I STILL struggled to keep up w her on the W&OD. Thanks, Allison, for making me stronger! strava.app.link/92bINpPeZgb

Triathlon brick workout: 900yd swim followed by a 3.1-mi run on an #OakMarrRECenter treadmill. First time I swam since the pandemic w/o a socially distanced reservation. I just showed up and walked in, mask-free. And got into the pool. I felt like I was misbehaving, somehow.

Conquered my fear of open-water swims -in the Potomac!- w/ a #WaveOne clinic & swim. Now I'm ready for my 1st sprint tri Saturday in Jamestown. Very cool bonus: Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was a fellow swimmer, too! strava.app.link/jGqmOFX13gb

Gorgeous 12.79-mile ride this morning on the W&OD with my biking buddy Allison Klein. 70 degrees. Sunny with a light breeze. And faster than last time. strava.app.link/mkCRdxlX6gb

I'm a TRIATHLETE! Thank you, Kinetic Multisports for an amazing 1st experience at today's Jamestown Sprint Tri. And thank you Inova Weight Loss for transforming a 283lb woman into a marathoner & triathlete. m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

Just sandwiched a fun 16mi bike ride w Allison Klein (my 1st since the tri) between 2 decidedly NON-fun events: A trip to the DMV & surgery to remove basal skin cancer on my left thigh. At least it wasn't melanoma this time. But my day was GREAT bc of the ride, insane hills & all

God gave me a flat tire today. I must confess: I'm a triathlete who has NEVER changed a bike tire. Until today, when God granted me a flat so I would walk into REI Fairfax & beg them to help me fix it by teaching me HOW. Thanks for the lesson, Chris- & for not laughing too hard.

Last 5K before #PuxicoGoatRun. I wanted to run 1 more to test my pace. Happy w 10:13/mi & negative splits: running each mile faster than the last. Doubt I'll do so well 8/14 if sweltering Puxico temps are in play. But I don't CARE. It's my 1st 5K w my boy!strava.app.link/9qLcVX1nyib
