Beyond the Rack...
As I continue to workout and train for next year's triathlons, I am finally starting to lose some, much needed, baby weight. I am slowly starting to feel good about how I look. Now I need to get out of this "mom funk" I am in....I need a makeover. So I scheduled an appointment at a local salon for a cut and style. I have begun shopping little by little each week, looking for new trendy clothes that flatter my figure vs. wearing the "comfy clothes" that are just plain easy to throw on. Through...

I did it!
Woohoo!!! I completed the Marshman Sprint Triathlon yesterday and had so much fun!

We began with a 1/4 mile swim in the lake (69 degrees water temp.) followed by a 12.5 mile bike ride (which had 3 huge hills but very scenic) and then a 2 mile run. Overall not so bad but I only started training 8 weeks prior so it was quite an accomplishme... Read Full Story

It's almost time...
Well after 8 weeks of training roughly 1 hour 5 days a week, the Marshman Sprint Triathlon is almost here. I think I am ready, although the more I think about it, the more I psyche myself out.It's like studying for a test. You think you know all the material but when you start talking with a group, you begin to 2nd guess yourself and psyche yourself out for the actual test. This is how I feel with the race. I just entered to push myself to workout, have fun, and accomplish something I never t... Read Full Story
