I Know Better…
I was born a healthy baby tipping the scales at a nice eight pounds. Yes, I was a semi- fat kid. But I was one of those husky, strong specimens. “Give the bat to Meredith, she’ll hit a home run,” my dad would tell the softball coach. I would put down my doughnut on the […]
New Exciting Things
There are many exciting things happening in Swim Bike Mom land in the now or near future! FIRST Next weekend is the Atlanta Iron Girl. My “debut” back into “racing” since the broke foot incident of 2012. While I must be careful (no actual running in the race), I plan to enjoy the swim, bike […]
Love this Picture
I received the most AWESOME email today. Check out this photo from SBM friend Sarah. Naturally, I love the shirt in the last pic, but what an amazing story. She did her first tri in 2010 and it changed her life forever. Way to go, Sarah. Thanks for sharing. Today, I had a great elliptical […]

Same Changes
Some things have changed inside my head recently. Yes, the fear factor about Ironman Florida 2013 (the big crazy idea), not to mention Ironman 70.3 Augusta in something like 155 days (scary!) has brought about a big change. But something else is different. I am not sure what it is. For example, I woke up […]
No Excuses. (Seriously).
Now, that I have finished watching this and drying my eyes…. I truly believe anything is possible when you want it bad enough. I have always believed that. But watching this, I know it to be true. What an inspirational boost for this Monday. “Never underestimate what you can accomplish… when you believe in yourself.” […]

L-R: Karen, SBM, Charity, Mark, Cynthia, Joanna I met Charity a few days ago through this blog, and she brought Cynthia. Turns out that Karen […]
Metabolism? I Really HAVE One?
I have hesitated to do this for a long time… This? What’s “this”? This… is telling my weight to the entire world…. Well, it’s official. I have a metabolism. And a good one. I believe Ilana‘s words were “Your metabolism is actually above average.” And because of this, I am going to tell you […]
Ironman: Scared Straight
So my big, genius idea about going easy on my food and treating my eating like training was a giant, out-of-the-gate FAIL. I know you get a kick out of my usual food confessions, but I will actually spare myself the humiliation (this time). Oyster Eating Fail. Usually, I can joke about it, but really, I’m not finding […]
