What I Hope for You in 2014

I started writing on Swim Bike Mom on August 26, 2010 with a simple post. One line, no pictures. Just this: I have decided to become a Triathlete. And at that time, what a ridiculous statement that was.  Me.  So tired, so fat, so clumsy (okay, three things that are arguably still true… I digress.) […]

New Orleans Meet & Greet

26 Days Later

On December 1, I embarked on (yet another) food journey with our flagship “Swim Bike Food” group.  The Expert (and the kids, by default) came along for the ride. As I always say, “I’m just one bad day away from a large pizza and a 12 pack of beer”—-and this may still be true—-but at […]

Swim Bike Family: Year in Review

Of course, now is almost the time of year (for sappy bloggers especially!) where we turn inward and create goals for the next year, and then we write about it. I do it every year— and I love goal setting. I love picking super crazy big goals. But somehow in the middle of the goal […]

Company Review: Recycle. Repreve. Awesome.

This post is sponsored by Repreve. FTC Disclosure here. The Swim Bike Family has gone a little “green.” We just signed the papers for a Nissan Leaf.  That’s right. The electric car.  Woot. With the Expert and me commuting about 75 miles a day (which is down from our previous 155 miles per day, thanks […]

Stop the Excuses. Please.

I’m in the middle of reading the book, Life is a Verb: 37 Days to Wake Up, Be Mindful and Live Intentionally.  Some of the book is a little rambling (not like I have any room to talk on rambling books. I mean, really.. heh heh), but the author, Patti Digh, really speaks to me in many […]

Who Am I? (Really?)

One of the questions posed by the instructor at yoga this morning: “Who are you? Who are you, really, at your core?” (Did somebody say “CORE”?) I immediately went to my social media profile:  wife. mother. attorney. writer. Ironman. Yep, that’s me. Check, moving on. Then, the instructor (as if inside my brain) said, “Not what […]

How to Speak Triathlon (and a few SBM terms!)

One of my good SBM Army members suggested that I compile a list of “triathlon vocabulary” and post it. I already had a big list in the book, but I thought I’d repost and add something here. Hope it helps!  (And feel free to tell me what I missed so I can add to the […]
