Hard core and intimidating? Hardly
Much delayed, but I promised to share my experiences from my first triathlon, so here goes: There’s something that seems very hard-core and intimidating about a triathlete. Which is why I laughed in my brother’s face when he first suggested I race a triathlon. But the truth is, I very much wanted to become comfortable…

Apple, a 5-mile run and Barenaked Ladies
My run could have appeared in an Apple commercial yesterday. I was on a 5-mile run, and I had taken my water belt with me. Typically I only do that if I’m running 6 miles or longer, but I was feeling a little dehydrated. I was a little bored with my Shuffle playlist, so I…

Cuddle time
My nieces came over last night for a slumber party. Mia likes to do “cuddle time” before bed which involves laying in bed and talking about her day and my day (or whoever she is cuddling with.) I told her about my day, then as she started talking about her day I had to stop…

Which end is up?
I feel too frazzled to blog. So much has happened over the past few weeks that I don’t even know where to begin! So, what I’m going to do today is be lame and tell you what I plan to write about. This will organize and un-frazzle me. = My first triathlon race report. Yep,…

That’s what you get for wakin up in Vegas …
Perhaps it’s better to show, not tell, why I haven’t blogged the past couple of weeks … Jeff and I were in Vegas for a conference for Jeff, and my friend Anil came up for a night. He comes to Vegas often, and when he tried to check into Mandalay Bay, they told him there…

Kids and dogs
I saw this photo on this blog that I read occasionally: And it reminded me of this photo of Cai and Sadie (nephew and niece) that I took with my phone (so apologies for quality) last week when they were visiting: It’s life’s little moments, that’s for sure.

Nothing to be scared of here
Ok, so I’m still working on my full race report from my Very First Triathlon … I know you are anxiously awaiting all those minor details that probably no one cares about unless they are crazy enough to think these things are fun … But while I’m getting all the other stuff together, I wanted…

Tomorrow, I get to play
First triathlon tomorrow. I feel ready and not ready, all at the same time. I know this much: I love it already. Even if tomorrow blows, I’m still enjoying the multi-sport workouts and all the good that comes with it. I’m sold! And, I’m super-stoked that Scott’s mom is coming to this one – I…

My head has a mind of its own
Going to take a few days for a blog hiatus. Dealing with a few overwhelming things right now – my brain won’t quite shut off of that to focus on this. And if you think I’m talking about you, you’re probably wrong. In the interim, though, I leave you with something positive: A photo of my…
