75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Do you know what fitness people like? Expensive gadgets that tell us about our fitness! Fitbits, Garmins, Apple watches and the like are our jam!

This one was the final feather in my hat for the year of fun races I’ve always wanted to do. Since I pulled the plug on training for an olympic triathlon before it really even began I’ve been doing fun races all season and it has been so much better than I even imagined it... Continue Reading →
