2 Most Important Things I Learned from Inside Tracker
When I had my blood analyzed by the new company InsideTracker, I actually learned a lot but, there are two things in particular that I think will be helpful to almost anyone reading this. If you read my first blog post when I mentioned InsideTracker, you may recall...
The Rundown – Endorphin Rush
In two weeks I will be racing at the Triathlon National Championships in Omaha, Nebraska. I have been racing and training well and definitely feel like I'm in a groove with my workouts (well, except for one of them) and can feel the endorphin rush in every aspect of...
Hometown Sprint Triathlon, Then and Now
I'm a creature of habit. I have routines, races I do every year and a long list of "traditions" for almost every month of the year. Consistency eases my anxiety and helps control my OCD. I also love doing the same races year after year to see my improvement or lack...
Run Fast and Stay Cool – 6 Speed Workouts for Runners
The last Wednesday of the month means it's time for the running round up with five of my best running friends. This month, it's all about speed, even at the height of hotness. Don't let the sun and humidity keep you from the track. You can run fast and stay cool this...
The Rundown – Transitions
I've been making some changes around here - both inside and out. Obviously my site received a facelift but I've been making some other, less obvious changes, one that was even a surprise to myself! Transitions in triathlon are those precious minutes when you switch...

Relaxing on vacation and, having training days that last under an hour and half, have me feeling like I need to get up to speed! I have only four weeks until Triathlon Nationals. I got my new Cervélo P2 triathlon bike. I have been training with my Garmin fenix 3...
The Reality of Exercising on Vacation with Kids
A quick Google search of "how to exercise on vacation" will result in thousands of articles. Most of them say the same things. Most of them are liars. First of all, if you don't have kids with you on vacation then I'm not sure you need an article to tell you how to...
The Rundown – Feel the Heat
We had a mini heat wave here in the Northeast last week and, let me tell you, it sucks the life right out of you! I have no clue how some of you live (and run!) in the south. I can barely function when it's above 80 degrees and 80% humidity. I'm also feeling the heat...
High Five Friday! Racing, Reality and Randomness
Can I open my eyes now? Have we finally made it to Friday? I'm putting two hands way up today because I'm hooking up with my sister from another mister, Angela aka Happy Fit Mama, and declaring this week officially over. Done. Cooked. Stick a fork in me because this...
