		<title>Pushing the limits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like most things in life, it is nice to be pushed. This morning I went running with a good friend of mine, who I have never run with before. She was worried about running with me and really wanted to go out hard. So I kept up, I can do that. About halfway through the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ironman Canada Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is a mere 2 weeks until the day I sign up for Ironman Canada 2011. It&#8217;s true, if you want to guarantee a spot at IMC, you must be there in person. So I&#8217;ll be there with my training plan in hand and my body ready to train.
My health issues are better than they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ahhh&#8230; rest!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Resting is just as important as training and I am definitely resting today. My glutes are very tight right now. After the 13.75km run yesterday, I was a hurtin&#8217; unit for sure. It was likely mostly due to the bike ride the day before.
It wasn&#8217;t too hot for yesterday&#8217;s run at around 21 degrees Celsius, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inspired by the Tour!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As my Twitter profile suggests, I am, indeed, back to training. Today I biked almost 60km with my training buddies, who I haven&#8217;t seen much of lately considering my lack of training. We got to catch up with each other and they waited for me after the uphills. I have not terrible cardio right now, [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s been a long time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been so long and so much has happened. In fact, I don&#8217;t even know where I left off. It was last summer or last fall or something, right? Well, I&#8217;m not going to dwell on the past &#8211; I&#8217;m here to write about right now.
Right now, or approximately, I am just starting to train [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reflections on the 2009 season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The past two racing seasons have been challenging ones, both physically and mentally. I felt due for a great season after 2008&#8217;s disappointing one. While I did have some great races and overcame some great hurdles, I feel a little disappointed about not having completed my second Ironman race.
The season started out really fun with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Decisions of the head and heart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I decided to go for my shortest run in at least 6 months. I took my dogs out for a 30 MINUTE RUN. That&#8217;s right&#8230; 30 minutes! I barely worked up a sweat. And you know what else? We walked sometimes. Yep, walked. And we stopped for water several times, just because the water [...]]]></description>

		<title>Race Report: Desert Half Ironman 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found out after the race that it boasts of the most difficult half IM in Canada. In a way, I&#8217;m kind of glad that I didn&#8217;t know this information going into it. Also, I now know why people do not opt to do this race as their qualifier for Ironman Canada. While it is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ready to Roll</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am sitting in a very cool place while outside is scorching hot. Well, not as hot as it was earlier, but pretty close. Actually, I&#8217;m in Penticton which is not nearly as hot as Osoyoos. Apparently the water was 22.5 degrees Celsius today, which is .5 degrees cooler than the cut-off for wearing a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Time to Hesitate is Through</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After spending the last several days talking to receptionists at my places of various medical caregivers, I made a personal decision that I am going to continue my season as I want. This may seem to make a lot of sense. However, after my doctor telling her receptionist to tell me that I should not [...]]]></description>
