Thankful for a PR!
The Swim Bike Family headed to Myrtle Beach, SC for Thanksgiving this year—-and for a first ever Turkey Trot. [Apparently many don’t go to the beach in 34 degree weather. We do! And saved a ton of money doing so! #swimbikefrugal] The Expert and I were up entirely too late—we didn’t arrive at the condo […]
A Guest Post: Injuries Stink
Long time SBM Army member and huge Andy Potts fan, Monica, shared her recent frustrations with injury. As many of you know, I’ve had my fair share of injuries, including a broken metarsal, sprained ankle, twisted ankle, broken ribs from a bike crash and other assorted curses at the Silver Comet trail, broken ass (sorry, […]
It Keeps You Running – A Coach T-Bone Post
So I am officially coming down off the high from the Andy Potts weekend. Wait, no I’m not. Anyway, time to get back to focusing and working. I’m thinking all about “Inertia” and “What Will I Learn Today” (#wwapd -What Would Andy Potts Do). Coach T-Bone contributed this great post on running form to […]
Getting to Know Andy Potts
First of all, I cannot believe that this happened. What a GREAT weekend–thank you All3Sports, Dynamo and Andy Potts–not only did I get to meet my favorite boy triathlete, but I learned SO much. Between the Q&A last night and the Swim Clinic today, I’m just blown away. So thank you all. The Q&A at […]
Contentment
Yoga this morning. Unlike my usual days at yoga, I was restless. Couldn’t stop fidgeting. Was struggling with being in the moment, with meeting myself where I am. I had a long chat with Coach T-Bone yesterday about my laundry list of real issues coupled with a smattering of first-world problems. Regardless, I’m working through […]
Be a Part of the 140.6 Book!
As many of you know by now, I am (deep) in the process of writing another book. Oh lawdy. So much for making 2014 much calmer. Hah. But in all reality, I must write—it’s a compulsion—so I might as well write with a plan. Like the last book, I will be including a section of contributions from […]
On Turning 34…
Today, I am 34 years young. (I know, most you of thought I was older than that. Thanks??? :)) For the first time in my life, my birthday seems very joyful and hopeful and happy. Yes, for the first time. I am certain as a child, I experienced birthdays that were wonderful. But since I […]
Freedom
I have always thought of freedom as doing what I want to do. All me, all my ideas and all my time. Freedom. I DO WHAT I WANT! I AM FREE! I learned today that sometimes freedom is defined otherwise. Freedom is taking a step in the right direction. Doing something that is hard/scary/unfamiliar in the […]
Searching for Andy Potts…
So it’s been kind of a long running Swim Bike Mom snicker that my favorite boy triathlete is Andy Potts. (Some of you snooty types often scream, “Why is YOUR HUSBAND not your favorite triathlete?” Come on, people. My husband is the love of my life. Andy Potts is the celebrity one… get it? He’s […]
