Mom's back on her bike!

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!

Awwww Lise, that's awesome!!! Give your mom a big pat on the back from all of us! How nice that she's reconnecting with her bike- and with her body! Yippeee for both of you!!!

No, but it looks a lot like Schatzi, the mini dachshund we had for 19 years. Snapdragen found me this picture for an avatar when I joined TE. As best we can tell, that's a bandana around the pup's neck. There was a long discussion about what it might be awhile back!

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.

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!

**maillotpois** · 07-10-2007, 07:28 PM

Your mom rocks! I am completely not surprised given who her kid is....

Go MOM!!

**Lise** · 07-11-2007, 12:51 PM

Thanks, MP! You rock!

**DrBee** · 07-11-2007, 01:35 PM

Very cool Lise! Your mom is awesome!
