A Joyful Noise
Triathlon has made me more alert and a better employee. I am a much better lawyer now that I am obsessed with triathlon. I think it has to do with time management and of course, the workout endorphins. But really, most days, I want to swim, bike, and run my way right out of the […]
Wanted: Your Story
Thursday is the boot coming off appointment (fingers crossed!). So I am ready to breathe some serious triathlon inspiration from you guys. I know you all will be crying that I might be rid of Wilson in just a week… but alas, the boot must go! The road to recovery may be slow. I need your inspiration […]
Curtains & Kitty Wigs
I think the Expert regrets telling me that I could blog about our little situation on Saturday. (By the way, thank you all for the love and support for BOTH of us. I love that you guys are on “our” team.) So anyway, the Expert is highly personal and quiet about things. Which I am […]
Lessons in Patience
God has been trying to teach me some massive lessons in patience lately. After rushing into my first 70.3, God decided that he would make me fall on imaginary objects and forcibly break my foot to keep me from my second 70.3. I am very hard-headed. I am not blaming God. Even though […]

Ten Things about this Picture
1) Riding the spin bike is more important than putting away my laundry. 2) Thus I have my priorities in proper order: workout before clothes. 3) I cannot believe how hard a twenty minute “ride” was…. after almost six weeks off the bike (give or take a spin class). 4) Why do I still have […]
Too Legit To…
I received an email last week from a fellow triathlete and writer, Stefanie, who basically smacked me in the face. She had emailed me in response to a post where I said, “I still very much consider myself a beginner triathlete, because I don’t think I’ll feel legit until I can run at a reasonable […]
Willllsonnnn!
I was wondering what to do with my boot, Wilson, in a few weeks. I originally wanted to release him into Lake Lanier like a scene from Castaway… me in the water, in my wetsuit… “Wilson! Willllllsonnnnn!” But then I realized that Lake Lanier is, in fact, a lake, so Wilson would go nowhere, no […]
