This week was spring break and instead of taking the minions on a nice vacation, we ended up staying home because this usually supermom had a crazy brainfart moment and thought the break was the week before! We had no childcare either, so it was a juggling act trying to work, workout and watch the kids. Last year was much easier to workout during spring break with kids since I wasn’t working and I only had CrossFit to get to. …
It is time for PINSPIRATION WEDNESDAY! What is PINSPIRATION WEDNESDAY? In short, you write about a motivational quote or inspirational thing that you found on Pinterest (or anywhere else!). You are encouraged to look through other pinners and pass the love. More details here. I was putting away my minions’ old books when I came across this one. And I knew it was meant for me! And you, and everyone. And so, even though this is technically not from Pinterest (it will be after…
I’m a novice when it comes to cycling but I’m trying to learn as I go along. People are extremely helpful and have told me to ask all kinds of questions. The stumbling block to that is – I don’t know the right questions to ask. My bike is fairly new and is a well made brand and I have not had the time to face any serious issues (*crossing fingers*).

6 months. 6 MONTHS. JUST 6 Months to Augusta 70.3. It seemed like just yesterday that I signed up and I had almost 10 months to get ready. Now it is down to 6 months. I could look back at this week’s training and as a worry-wort, wonder how I am to ever accomplish this huge goal. Or I could look at the steps I’m taking and continue to take the steps and try to have a *tiny* bit of patience. …
On the heels of my linkup of Pinspiration Wednesday (which I will admit is having starting troubles getting off the ground … so be a dear and pop over there to add in your links), I found Pin It Party hosted by Lindsay from The Lean Green Bean. So I’m joining that today and pushing some of my favorite pinnable posts from the past. And this also gives me pause to think and write content that can be pinned/shared by others, not just as…
It is the first PINSPIRATION WEDNESDAY! What is PINSPIRATION WEDNESDAY? In short, you write about a motivational quote or inspirational thing that you found on Pinterest (or anywhere else!). You are encouraged to look through other pinners and pass the love. More details here. Today’s Pinspiration is simple – BE PREPARED! When you take on a goal or a challenge, when you are looking at something that is outside your comfort zone, be prepared. “Yeah, be prepared! We’ll be prepared! But…
After a huge weekend of a half marathon PR and kicking some hills, I don’t think it is fair that I could not even bask in the glow this week. Do you? Not because I was back at it (things don’t stop until September 27th), but because I was sick. I was a little “off” on Sunday evening, but by the time I woke up on Monday morning I wasn’t sure how much of it was soreness from a tough…
