Race day is almost here. Unbelievable. Where have the days gone? But ready or not, race day is almost upon us. Please send all the positive energy you can spare to my husband and me this Sunday (7/23) — keep us going with your good thoughts. It’s going to be a LONG day! I have […]
John and I are counting down to race day. Less than five weeks to go. We’ve been training long — three hour runs, five to six hour bike rides, one hour swims — and we’re feeling the St. Louis heat. Two weekends in a row, we rode in 101 degree weather; talk about wringing every […]

I woke up this morning with two sets of characters playing tug-of-war in my mind. I went for a run and decided to ignore both groups. Today, I’m going to revise (yet again) The Chase is Over, my first ms. I’ve decided to get it ready to pitch at the RWA National Conference in July. […]

Ironman Florida – November 3, 2007: A recap by Christine (Crash) Mazurk The alarm buzzed at 4:30 am, and we both groaned into the darkness.
