Our IronGal in training, Katie, checks in after a bit of an absence from the blog, and as you’ll read, a little absence from training as well. C’est la vie, no? And no worries blogosphere fans, although Katie’s training journal for the Ford Ironman Coeur d’Alene will be over in three weeks, she’ll be a [...]

Our IronGal, Katie, checks in with a few significant “achievements” in her training, one of which we all thought she would have accomplished when she was 3 years old! Actually, its the perfect accompaniment to yesterday’s post, “Reality Bites.” (So now we’ve got #1 and #2 covered!) Milestones…After 6 hours and 10 minutes, I completed [...]
