  • Why Lance?

    Because the word blog sounds like something that comes out of a person's nose. This blog is named after my old friend Sarah's manifestation of a dreamy Wyoming cowboy named Lance.
  • About me

    I'm a journalist who spends my Mondays through Fridays writing other people's stories, a chronic procrastinator who needs structure. I once quit my job to write a book and like most writers, I made up excuses why I couldn't keep at it.

    My boyfriend fiancé husband Joe (and new baby Henry) like to sleep in late on the weekends, which means I end up browsing celebrity tabloid websites while our dog snores under the covers.

    I created Lance to better spend that time. I thought maybe it would jump start a second attempt at writing a novel.

    I'm itching to get The Move On, as my dad likes to say. I'm 26 27 28 29 and I'm afraid if I don't start now, I'll get caught up in something else.

    We all do.

Muscle & flow

10 Apr 2010

 

This post should go up at exactly 7 a.m., which is when the Escape From Fort Desoto Triathlon is scheduled to begin. If you’re reading this between 7 a.m. and 7:40, I’m probably flailing around in the Gulf of Mexico in a one-piece bathing suit and swim cap. Also: if you’re up at 7 a.m., go back to bed. You’re up too early. If you’re reading this between 7:45 and 8:00, I’m probably approaching mile 5 on my Bianchi. If it’s 9 a.m., I’m on foot, tackling the thing I feared most — running.

If you’re my husband Joe, you’re blowing the minds of every person who knows you by being awake and out of the house at 5:30 a.m. on a Saturday. I love you, my pep squad of one.

Oh, and happy birthday to me!

    Again… tell me! You should know that since knowing about your tri you’ve inspired me to go running once. Hey, that’s a lot for me! I might even go again tomorrow… But only if you tell the tale of the tri! (How’s that for an alliteration from a non-native English speaker?)
