It’s true: I am now officially a lover of hills. At this point, I might as well love ‘em, because I can’t avoid them and race day is looming ever nearer on the horizon and I need to be ready to face some big ones. The WTH bike course description is enough to strike terror […]
FTF
Happy Friday, everyone!! Here are the Four Things on my mind this Friday, in all their bullet-pointy goodness: THING ONE – I’m starting the count down to WTH race day, and that means I’m in nailing-down-the-details mode. I’m not for sure on my outfit yet, but this week I’ve been figuring out what to do […]
Final Winner and Adventure Wrap-Up!
Before I announce the final random winner, I wanted to take a quick second to say THANK YOU to everyone who participated in my “Not Your Average Adventure” virtual race! I had a total blast hosting this race and I am already cooking up ideas for another one! Many thanks also to the wonderful companies […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
A little sweat this morning = (mostly) nice to the in-laws later today. Me and my BFF Coach Troy getting’ our sweat on. Happy Thanksgiving, Bloggy Friends – I am thankful for YOU!! I hope you all have a happy, safe and sweaty day; I can’t wait to read all the Turkey Trot race reports!
Random Adventure Winner #2!!
Hooray for enthusiastic winners (and thank you both for contacting me right away)! It’s already time to announce Random Winner #2: Big Boy had to put the hat on, too. A repeat of yesterday’s picture – the hat full of names. Who will it be??? The suspense is killing me! YAY!! Random Winner #2 is […]
Random Adventure Winner #1
You know how most bloggy giveaways have that little blurb when they announce a winner that the winner must contact them within 48 hours or a new one will be chosen? Well, I think it took about 48 seconds for Elizabeth @ Canyon Cairns to respond yesterday – I love (and encourage) that sort of […]

“Not Your Average Adventure” Virtual Race!
It’s MY birthday coming up, but I’m giving YOU the presents, Bloggy Friends! I’m ridiculously excited to host my very first virtual race: See how I worked my blog title in there? Yeah, I’m clever like that. A LITTLE BACKGROUND: A few weeks ago, I participated in Marcia’s virtual race, The Power of 10+, and […]
Gettin’ my Sweat on
I never used to consider myself an “outdoorsy” person. In a lot of ways, I’m still not – I don’t do a whole lot of camping or gardening. But given my druthers, I will always choose to run, ride or swim outside versus inside. Okay, let’s make that “almost always.” I’m a total wuss in […]
Whatchu Got?
Patrick and Kovas made me do it, I swear. The thing about running or triathlon-ing is, the more you do it, the more gear you “need.” Suddenly, the garage that used to be full of cars is full of bikes, and the shoe rack of high heels is replaced with boxes of Newtons. These are […]
