Mom's back on her bike!

Run like a dachshund! Ride like a superhero! Swim like a three-legged cat!

Hey Lisa, does this refer to your Mum?

Cos I reckon she is something of a superhero, absolute respect for your Mum, just hope I can be doing the same thing at her age.

Lovely pic of the pair of you.

Thanks, guys! I'll let Mom know how much respect she has here at TE!

Sally, my line about run-ride-swim refers to how *I* feel as a triathlete. Not a great runner, but I love doxies, and sometimes feel like one when I'm running. On my bike I can fly, and feel like a superhero in my own comic book. Swimming--not so great! But I do it! Like a cat, not thrilled about it, but getting it done, with three legs, sort of off course a lot.

What a wonderful post. Sending a big thumbs up to your Mom. Also, thank you for sharing the pic. You both look great!!!

MOST awesome. I'm glad she's back in the saddle!

If you can find a copy of the last issue of Her Sports magazine, there's a great story about "Sister Madonna", a nun who does Ironman in her 70s. Of course you don't necessarily want your mom to try doing that, but it's just great inspiration!

WOW!!!

****I don't think I have seen the screen name "lisemom" taken!?!?! Wonder if she would like to share her stories to great group of gals on a regular basis???

I love Sr. Madonna. They featured her in the Kona Ironman coverage last year. What an amazing woman. Mom's no triathlete...but it reminds me to tell her about Sr. Madonna, as an inspiration!

But do I want her checking up on me through TE?

No I do not!

Hahaha, yes, I realised it was a description of yourself but your explanation is even better. BUT whatever is a doxie, goodness you guys confuse me!

DOXIES?

Out of curiosity, just searched on the internet, oh yes, real cute, Miniature Dachshunds.

I always said I would have one when I retired, so adorable.

Well, I have learnt yet something else from you guys.

Ah! What a great little cartoon!

Thanks!
