Welcome to my blog

2012 Races

Colfax Marathon (5-20) Boulder 70.3 (8-5)

Crazy Person

Today it was truly frigid outside with temps in the twenties but with serious wind that made it “feels like” less than 10*.

Because of that, I was extremely grateful that we were able to have boot camp indoors again.  I was not grateful that Reggie decided to run us through an extremely tough lower [...]

DC Cookie Swap 2010

I had to add “2010″ to the title because it was so fun and I hope that it becomes a yearly tradition!

Sunday evening Lisa held a cookie swap for local bloggers and readers.  There were so many amazing cookies.

But even better, amazing company.  I got to see old friends and make new [...]

The Healthy Living Summit 2010

The day started with a very sweet swag bag: Breakfast included a oatmeal bar, not a surprising considering this crowd. The sessions I went to were Fueling for Fitness, Stepping up Your Blog Photography, the [...]

Hello from Chicago

My flight to Chicago was uneventful. I slept the whole time and did many head bobs (sorry to my neighbors!). We got a good view of the city when we were landing. I took the L to the hotel, got ready in 10 minutes. The room was very spacious. I’m glad we decided to squeeze [...]

Battle for Ballston 5k: Race Recap

My weekend started out rough when my stomach issues hit me hard Friday night. I had to cancel dinner plans and stay home and sulk.

Saturday, however, has been much better. Neil and I had the alarm set for 6:30 am to head to our 5k. I walked the dog while Neil made toast [...]

I’m also excited about this race because Neil is joining me – and [...]
