Today is Chuck’s birthday, and Saturday was our friend Valerie’s. So to celebrate, several if us went to the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes this past weekend. It’s located on the tip of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, where Marineland once stood (and where they filmed the TV series Sea Hunt). It’s an absolutely beautiful [...] Since Chuck wrote up the sprint triathlon we completed on Saturday, I’ll talk about the Firecracker 10K that we ran yesterday. It was a fabulous day – amazing after the deluge of the day before. Days like yesterday make it clear why people want to live in So Cal: the air was crystal clear, the [...] chuck’s cool shades Originally uploaded by eoshea I was tagged by the Lady Who Lunches to find my favorite photo. As Meagan predicted, I had to look long and hard however my quest made easier by the fact that the photos I would choose (since meeting Chuck in 2001) are all online. I have lots of photos [...] Wiiwaa. Turn your speakers up to really feel the joy of this, uh, thing. We had a great weekend biking around the Solvang area. Saturday was the Solvang Prelude where we rode 50 miles, then on Sunday we did a recreational 25-miler from Solvang to Babcock Winery (one of our favorites) and back (25 miles).

Our friends Valeria and Maureen [...] Now that the Las Vegas Triathlon is out of the way, we’ve fixed our focus on the next two races: a half marathon next weekend in Healdsburg, and a 50 mile bike ride in Solvang in November. So yesterday we ran 9 1/2 miles and today we hammered out a 40 mile bike ride. Then [...] The results of the Las Vegas Triathlon that I did on Sunday are online and I did come in third in my age group…out of three. *sigh* Hey, but at least I finished! And my karma is intact. Somebody’s out there isn’t, though – our friend and fellow triathlete Valerie’s wetsuit was stolen from the [...] In my case, it included swimming 1.5K, biking 40K, then running a 10K at the Las Vegas Triathlon. And let me tell you, it was HOT out there! The triathlon took place in and around Boulder Beach at Lake Mead. The swim started around 7:15am and the temperature was only in the lower 80’s (but [...] |
