The Cost of Triathlon: Swim Bike Mom’s Take
Excerpt, Abridged, Updated, and Funnified from “Triathlon for the Every Woman: You Can Be a Triathlete. Yes. You.“ There’s a post floating around (I think it’s from Active.com) about the so-called fact that it will cost you $2,000- $25,000 to make it to an Ironman start line. I think that they are totally right–you can absolutely fall […]
I Ate Those Cookies
I had a 5k this weekend, that I was certain to PR. (Famous last words, by the way!) And I was all ready and hot to go for it, and I paced amazingly until Mile 2.2, when I (along with 5 other people) got completely lost. Race was not marked and there was no one […]

Resolutions? In the Circular File, Please.
There are a million articles online about why New Years Resolutions totally fail. I read many of them, and I agreed with the propositions behind many, like this one from Psychology Today. As I sat down to write this post, I was trying to think of what I really thought about resolutions. Because for the […]

The, Er, Mission Statement Post
Did you realize that it’s almost 2016? I’m not sure if you did. Because yesterday that news hit me like a ton of bricks. And I blame that stupid Timehop app. Do you have that app? It’s like the “Oh Crap Where Did My Year Go” app. That’s what it should be called. And then my mom, […]
