My First Triathlon: What Do I Really Need to Know?
Race season is upon us. Like now. WOW… wasn’t it just off season? Yes, yes it was. Many of us are embarking on our first triathlons this season – and that is wicked exciting. And terrifying. And exciting. And terrifying (am I right?) Here’s a few things that I think every newbie triathlon should know before his […]
The Time Will Pass Anyway
What a difference a year can make. Progress not perfection. The time will pass anyway… so why not work on YOU? I have spent my entire life on an emotional roller coaster of dieting, deprivation and magic pills/shakes. Since the age of 10, when I was introduced to Weight Watchers. Until last year, I had […]
Push-Ups and Fat Jokes
I was presented with a challenge this morning before strength training. My locker room friend, Becky, sorta laid it down for me. (Okay, she’s not just a locker room friend. But honestly, we haven’t moved our ‘relationship’ out of the gym yet. #HintHint) “No fat jokes during strength training today,” she said. “No fat jokes about YOU.” “ALL […]

I am not sure who coined the phrase: “It never gets easier, you just get faster”–but it seems as if people really like that one. I guess I could Google who said it. Let me Google that for you, right… [Just kidding. Greg LeMond.] I guess it means that your intensity level should be that of […]
Swim Bike Give.
I have to admit, while I am nervous adding a new venture to the mix, I am also incredibly excited. When my grandmother passed away in February, I knew that this was the next step with the Swim Bike World. 🙂 She was such a generous person, and I wanted to make sure to continue […]
Gravity
This morning, I had my back turned as my seven-year daughter jumped on the scale in our bathroom. She caught me completely off-guard. “Does this number mean I am fat or skinny?” she asked, looking past her belly button at the blinking digits. Crap. I thought for a second. Crap crap crap. What could I […]
