Howdy, friends. It doesn’t seem like time off is doing much to help with my injury — but it isn’t getting worse, so that’s good right? I’m doing everything I can to try to train without aggravating it. The good … Continue reading →

Howdy, friends. Jack has been extra funny today. He’s been really wonderful lately about a give-and-take in conversation, and it’s been fun. They even make sense, most of the time. So this morning, I told him my birthday was coming … Continue reading →

Things I learned today

Posted on January 29, 2013 by Jacqueline Palfy Klemond

“Swimming”

Posted on January 29, 2013 by Jacqueline Palfy Klemond

Howdy, friends. I had to put that in air quotes, because I don’t think you can technically call what I do in the pool real swimming. I took some swimming lessons about 9 years ago. They helped — I learned … Continue reading →

In the pool

Posted on January 24, 2013 by Jacqueline Palfy Klemond

Howdy, friends. After whining all day yesterday, I decided to go out last night and buy a new swimsuit for pool running. The last time I bought one was 2006. I don’t need to tell you how saggy, baggy, horrible … Continue reading →

Me and my pelvis

Howdy, friends. I wish I were here writing about a 60-mile training week, and how excited I am to head to Boston in about 12 weeks. But I’m not. I’m here to write about how I took a full week … Continue reading →

Currently reading: “Gold” by Chris Cleave

Posted on January 22, 2013 by Jacqueline Palfy Klemond

Howdy, friends. I finally finished “Zoo Time,” which I hated. I was miserable the last 100 pages, just trying to power through. I mean, parts of it were really funny, but overall I thought it was way too much navel-gazing … Continue reading →

Howdy, friends. Jack wrote his first book this weekend. It’s called “Zoo Trainers and Robots,” which accurately describes what it’s about. It also includes ice cream and a rake. Every weekend, when Viv naps, we try to do something special … Continue reading →

On Baby Jesus

Posted on January 10, 2013 by Jacqueline Palfy Klemond

Howdy, friends. If you aren’t a particularly religious person, it can be tough to answer some preschooler questions. Maybe that’s why religion was invented. I sure thought of that in December, when I had Santa to threaten with. If we … Continue reading →
