Breaking the Boredom
I frequently post pictures of myself on my bike trainer in the corner of my bedroom. I love these pictures mostly because of the context. My daughter, Swim Bike Kid (age 4) has, in all trainer picture contexts, snatched my iPhone off the dresser and proceeded to say, “Smile, it’s your picture, Mommmm.” Too bad […]
The Naysayer (boo hiss)….
Hi there! It’s Virginia, Swim Bike Kid blogger, back to ramble a bit. Today I got an email from an awesome mom of two little ones who is becoming a triathlete. She’s amazing! What she asked is something I thought I would share here because I think it pertains to so many things about being a mom […]
Are You Klean? I Am!
Sponsored post. All opinions are my own. FTC Disclosure here. I had not heard about Klean Athlete supplements until very recently. But I have learned to love (love!) them over the past week. Love. Klean Athlete has a wide range of products–from electrolytes, multi-vitamins and endurance products. [What? Another multi-vitamin? Really?] Oh yes. But wait. This […]
In the Beginning…
I have no idea how I came across this blog post last night. It was from the blog I keep about my kids… and it was posted right before Swim Bike Mom started on August 26, 2010. And it cracked me up because I sometimes forget how far I have come—and sometimes, I forget […]

Getting back up
Hi world. It’s Virginia, Swim Bike Kid. This has been a tough week for me. I’ve done that ridiculous thing of letting the exhaustion take over. I’m frustrated with myself. But, I’m getting back up. I shouldn’t say it has been this way all week. It hasn’t. Again, I am the QUEEN OF HYPERBOLE. It […]
Peanut Butter: (Yes, Still a Love Story)
Today is a joyous day. It’s National Peanut Butter Day!!!! (“Did you know that it takes 550 peanuts to make a 12 ounce jar of peanut butter?”) As an ode to my favorite food in the world, I am flashing back to last year’s peanut butter ode, in the style of “Forrest Gump”: Anyway, like […]
Losing Weight by Fixing my Brain Shenanigans
…Because my food addiction is not about WILLPOWER…If it was WILLPOWER, I would just stop… the same way I have willpowered my way to finishing half Ironmans weighing 215 pounds. The way I willed myself through law school (the way I will myself to work everyday).
An active day with a MEAN mom (her name is Virginia…yes, me)
Hi all! Virginia here…voice of Swim Bike Kid. I’m having a bit of a “bad mommy” day…though I think I may have made it better this afternoon. Today, being MLK day, is a holiday from school. So, in order to take full advantage, I planned a morning run with my two middle boys and an […]
