Running on a (Chicken) Wing and a Prayer
It’s no secret that I have hideous running form. Because of said hideous form, Coach Monster has incorporated some running drills into my training plan. He had mentioned doing so for quite some time. But Coach M finally took video of me last week… running. And he put those drills into motion pretty darn fast. So […]
Who’s Going to Stop You?
I have been scratching and clawing back into the tri-ing mode for four weeks now, ever since my race. To say I’m not struggling would be a lie. I have been talking with a new SBM friend (who I’ll call Kate) who is struggling to keep moving. She just started running last week after spending […]
Gobble Gobble Wobble
I hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving! My folks and grandparents are en route, and the Expert has his shopping list ready. [Yes, he’s the cook. I know, ladies. Eat your heart out.] Friday morning, I am dragging the Expert to Coach Monster’s spin class for the first time. I am looking forward to that […]

Muffin Top
As we walked across the pool deck this afternoon, both a wiggling and a jiggling, I looked at the Expert and said, “I’m sorry, but did we really do a half-Iron three weeks ago?” I am amazed at how quickly I get fluffy. Granted, fluffiness didn’t arrive through lack of effort. I got a birthday […]
Super Women
The Expert has been on a business trip for the past four days, and returned from Germany late last night. I was asleep, all broken-necked on the couch when he came in, and he woke me up to move me. I was immediately crabby, and we proceeded to have a good solid “you’ve been […]

Today is the first part of SBM’s “Fix Your Life Friday” series with our resident life coach, Carrie of Tempo Life Coaching. Today’s Question: “I am a 40 year old working mom. My daughter is 8, and my twins are 4. I started doing tris this summer and I am hooked! I plan on doing an […]
TriSports. You Rock.
My friend, Elizabeth, ordered a shipment of fun triathlon goods from TriSports.com. To be silly, she wrote in the “Comments” section on her order: “I would like a velociraptor riding a bike over a double rainbow be drawn on my box.”A few days later, here arrives her box. Unreal awesome. Well, I ordered a new […]
Amazing.
