So OF COURSE I’m going to the FitBloggin11 conference this weekend in Baltimore, MD. And, I’ve been asked to speak on the Building Community Panel, along with these amazing women: [...]

I learned to ride a bike when I as five, but I just unlearned most of it on Friday, after my first triathlon bike race lesson from Coach Robin. They say you never forget how to ride a bike, but maybe they’re not Iron Girl triathletes or bike racers? I was a little scared to [...]

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on a bit of a journey this past year. We moved. Twice. So there’s that. I helped the family get settled, and now I’m networking my way into a new community for work, finding old friends and making new ones, and starting the Chubby Mommy Running Club in [...]

We’d stop every time someone thought we should, and eat a cookie. We pretended the walking erased the calories in a few dozen cookies [...]

Coach Robin of Every Mom to Iron Mom, the vetran Triathlete of the group (she’s been doing triathlons since the 1980′s!) talked us through the gear, [...]

I have a thing for boots. Cowboy boots are my weakness. Along with biker-chick boots. And black leather spikey-heeled boots. And gray tweed boots that will surely match something I have yet to buy, because gray tweed is always in style. I love to shop, but I need to be practical with my spending. Boots [...]
