Today: The Day I Almost Died
At least it felt that way. This morning, I got the kiddos up and dressed and we hustled downstairs to the beat of “march march march your arse” (okay, so I don’t really say that with the kids). We were kind of running late, and I was also trying to sear a chuck roast for […]
The Disobedient Athlete
I chose to skip my workout today. And yesterday. And I don’t think that I have actually been in the pool in over a week. (Maybe longer? Eeeek…) And I have 14 days until my next 70.3, and I have spent the week completely unraveling. Traveling and unraveling. A deliberate skip of a key workout […]
Whirlwind
The Expert and I had a great ride on Saturday morning. We managed about 50 miles at a pretty good pace. Since Ironman, I’m finding it difficult to get motivated for anything other than about…oh…. 5 miles on the bike. So I was proud of the ride. So was the Expert. I’m three weeks away […]

The Whole30 Results
DAY THIRTY Well, I made it exactly 29 days into my Eight Weeks and Whole30… ….before I blew it. And by “blowing it,” I mean going to a delicious two dinners with my family and partaking of some vino and some delcious dessert. And some more vino. Not as strong as I thought I was. Actually, […]
My Super Power: The NO SLEEP Triathlete!
Hi folks! Virginia here for SBK. I have been MIA for a few weeks because I’m getting back in the swing of life’s crazy routines. School started back about 3 weeks ago with kiddos returning 2 weeks ago. I’m at a new school this year, and I am VERY happy about my new job and […]
