75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
This race has been on my radar for a few years now but I’ve been busy with other things. Honestly I love a good campy experience no matter how it happens. I also love a good costume and a reason to dress up as a grown up. Check and check. Truthfully it’s far from home,... Continue Reading →
A picture says a thousand words right? Well not always, sometimes what your missing is the larger context and sometime that doesn't fit into a picture at all.

Have you lost track of my training because I have. One would have to say that peak week pretty much didn’t happen but then again it sort of did… Anyway here’s a quick recap of getting here. I was on track until week 8 when I got married. Previous to that I was extending my... Continue Reading →
Maybe you're done for the season, good for you and sorry about the FOMO you're currently experiencing BTW. I'm not quite done yet, in fact it's peak week and it's getting hard ya'll.
