**Are you going to FitBloggin ’10? I AM! I just bought my ticket and would love to find out who else is going. Good news, everyone…after reading this post, Lucas assures me that he would save me in a fire. But before you get all mushy, you should know that he qualified it by telling [...]

Green Monster Mess

by Katy on October 28, 2009

(I almost called this post “crimped hair is cool” — you’ll see why if you read on!) Wow, it seems like a lot of people have either tried a vegan lifestyle or think I should try one…surprisingly, the one person I thought might be apprehensive — Lucas — just shrugged his shoulders when I asked [...]

Could I Go Vegan?

by Katy on October 27, 2009

You know you’ve arrived when MizFit calls you badass. Ahhh, happiness. I spoke too soon when I said I wasn’t sore from the triathlon this weekend. My leg/groin/”special area” is back to that stabbing, searing pain. I have pretty much laid off exercising for the last three days, which is freaking KILLING me. I’m really [...]

A Latte to Celebrate

by Katy on October 25, 2009

Yum…nothing like homemade lattes to start a Sunday! I whipped (ha!) these up this morning to try and treat myself and Lucas after a very busy Saturday. You know about my triathlon, and I hinted at our volunteer “job” at the Beer Festival of the South. It was fun, but really hard work — it [...]

I'm an Olympic Athlete

by Katy on October 24, 2009

Well, sort of…Why? I FINISHED MY FIRST OLYMPIC DISTANCE TRIATHLON! And, I must say… I rocked it. Read ‘em and weep. I did. Swim: 0:30:00.566 T0: 0:02:10.608 T1: 0:01:57.140 Bike: 1:15:59.951 T2: 0:01:20.643 Run: 0:51:00.745 Finish: 2:42:29.653 I came in 7th for my age group — and truly feel I gave it everything I had. [...]

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I Love Ya…

by Katy on October 23, 2009

I’ve been MIA for a few days, so my apologies — I am getting ready for my triathlon tomorrow and have been trying to nap, drink lots of water and get over my nerves! In a funny way, being so unprepared and undertrained is making it easier. I don’t have any expectations for the event [...]

Pumpkin Spice Latte Oatmeal

by Katy on October 21, 2009

Ugh, patience is not a strong suit of mine…so when I woke up this morning with pain in my groin, I knew I wasn’t going to be getting in a final run before the triathlon this weekend. I threw a mini tantrum, then decided to make the best of my early start, and I got [...]
