Tomorrow Ryan will be competing in his 4th Ironman distance triathlon! At the last three races Ryan has done pretty well on the swim and the bike, but once he gets to the run he is physically and mentally tired!

Stocking Ideas for Runners & Baby Girls
I can’t believe Christmas is right around the corner! My favorite thing about the gift giving part of Christmas is filling the stockings!

Easy Ways for New Moms to Get Exercise
During the first few weeks after Miss M was born I made myself take it easy. I focused on getting rest, good nutrition and figuring out this thing called motherhood. After one week the daily fresh air on the back porch was just not enough so we started walking a few blocks. It was finally […]
My Husband Is an Ironman Triathlete
Two weekends ago Ryan participated in his 3rd full Ironman distance triathlon. Last year he did his first triathlon, then he raced in Texas in April and now this one. It takes a lot of time, energy and sacrifices to train for and complete a full Ironman. Sometimes I think we are crazy for the […]
