I bit the bullet, swallowed my nerves, found my inner fathlete and signed back up for the Atlanta Track Club today. I took a long walk today with the dog and despite sweating like a whore in church (seriously – wtf is it 70 degrees in November?) remembered who I am. I am a fathlete. … Continue reading
Me: I think that I can get down to like 215 by 7/11…which would be way easier to race with. Stend: Absolutely. Plus you’ll have so much muscles. Me: I was 222 my first tri. Stend: I don’t think you should even focus on the numbers. Just get that heart rate used to long activity and push yourself … Continue reading
I like coffee and I really like cream. I like a lot of cream in a good cup of coffee. As I was measuring my almond milk and pouring it into my coffee this morning I thought to myself, “This sucks. I don’t even like this shit.” Almond milk in coffee sucks. It just sucks. The taste sucks. The … Continue reading
Bourbon and barbells. It has a ring, right? I’ve started doing weights without drinking, too! I know, I know. It’s terrible. No, not that I stopped drinking while doing weights, but that I’d become a cardio queen. Looking back, it really would have helped my cycling times in the Triathlons.

I once wore three sports bras when going for a run to avoid the inevitable bounce. I avoided all high impact exercise (I’m talking … 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
I’m quite flattered to have been accepted the Liebster Award! Thank you Elaine! I’ve gotten a few recent comments/emails from people telling me how inspirational and motivating I am for them and y’all, that makes my day. I know that might sound silly, but I get how hard this journey is and how much I’ve … Continue reading
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
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
Damn girl, that's a lot of fattitude
