So, I did it. Well, actually I haven’t done it. But I’m going to do it. I will press the “pay” button and have registered myself (and Kevin) for our very first HALF MARATHON. I pressed it. WTFWTFWTF This is the same feeling I had as I was contemplating my first Tri. The self doubt. … Continue reading

How Do I Meal Prep?
“I want to eat more clean but that shit takes forever during the busy week without prep.” A good friend of mine asked for some tips in the form of a post, so I’m a kind enough soul to oblige. I honestly think people try and get too fancy when they start eating clean and over … Continue reading
5k Epiphany
Here it is: I am no longer an athlete…but I will be one again. It’s incredible how quickly you lose it when you don’t train all the damn time. Wow! My morning started out GREAT! I’d lost 3.2lbs and felt back on track – finally. A sense of accomplishment and confidence overwhelmed me. I didn’t … Continue reading
Project 30 Days: Get Your Shit Together
I ate too much and drank too much this weekend. Friday night I baked a cake I was catering for a surprise 30th birthday. Yes, I also bake. (I’ll post pics when I get them back.) After finishing my cake we promptly walked to the bar and met up with friends. Hey – we walked … Continue reading
My Exercise Confession

And then there’s me. And in case you have forgotten – I HATE RUNNING. In fact, here it comes – … Continue reading

I’d been watching the weather report all week and praying to the sweet lord that the rain would hold off. No. Apparently my new thing is racing in the rain. I did the triathlon with my bestie, Alicia. The hotel we stay at is a short bike ride from the course, so no one drives … Continue reading
Why you rain on me?
Look how excited I was after the ride was over…the only time it wasn’t raining. So, Up the Creek Without a Pedal was – let’s just say I needed a damn paddle. It rained Oh dear God did it rain. It rained lightly, it rained in torrential downpours, it rained for an hour…it didn’t stop … Continue reading
Broken Bone Athlete
Yesterday was the day I once upon a time dreaded: my yearly physical. Ya’ll – it was awesome. I was informed that I have the blood pressure of an athlete. WHAT?! Me? (dear body, catch up.) At first I was panicking because I thought something had to have been wrong for it to be that … Continue reading
Screw Running
As I ran my 5 miles yesterday I thought about how much I hate running, I thought about how much I hate people that love running, I thought about how stupid running is, I yelled at every other runner I saw in my head…you get the drift. I hate running. I absolutely hate running. I … Continue reading
