We’re here! We arrived in Baltimore today, a few days ahead of Fitbloggin — sort of a combo birthday/anniversary trip (his birthday was February 22nd, mine March 17th and our wedding anniversary is April 8). The weather is go-hor-hor-hor-hor-geous! It’s actually warmer here than in Orlando! We love to travel, so the first thing we [...]

Looks like a lot of you are meeting me for the first time after reading Caitlin’s triathlon recap! That probably means you’re as proud of her as I am. A brief backstory (because you can read more about me here here and here) — I was once an unfit, unhappy, unhealthy girl. Then I started [...]

Confession time. I completed the Walt Disney World Half Marathon on January 9th. I came home, took off my sneakers, and put them in the closet. And that’s where they have stayed. After two years of running and working out at least four times a week, I have temporarily quit. I have good reasons: Physical [...]

Like most of us, my journey to healthy living was paved with obstacles — from injury to special events to lack of sleep to chocolate-covered temptations. For me, it’s a journey that continues to this day…even as a Lifetime member of Weight Watchers and an athlete, I still rely on the tips, tricks and tools [...]

I learned many lessons during Vegan Week — and the most important one had nothing to do with food. Or, let me clarify — it had nothing to do with eating food. In order to shop, cook and ensure that all my meals were animal product-free, I planned my meals for the week. I went [...]

(As we speak, I am probably wrapping up a run with Caitlin and Kelly — so I should be more prepared to talk about a vegan diet and fitness later tonight!) For those who are just getting to know me and my blog, I am a triathlete. That’s why I was so excited to talk [...]

Dear Running, I miss you. In the days since we last spent time together, I have found in myself a sense of loss and longing — and I wonder…do you miss me? I’ve been spending more time with your cousin, Ralking, as well as some time with your distant relation, Walking. We all know it’s [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Wow, when you gotta sleep…you gotta sleep. I had another early wakeup call today (yesterday for running with the girls, today for work) and was AMAZED and pleased to find that our 95-degree temperatures had melted into a much more tolerable mid-70s. Perfect for some of this: And this: And this: It was my first [...]
