Four years have past since I started this blog with a post about a lost iPod shuffle. With no original strategy or intent, it found it’s place as my little outlet. An outlet where I often share too many details, and at other times, have gone silent as I really didn’t have anything valuable to share. But either way, it’s just a little piece of me to put out into the world, hoping others can share a little bit along the way…typos and all. This blog isn’t a money-maker, or a full-time ...
MAF Training & How Long Does A Heart Rate Monitor Last?
By now, I think it’s safe to say that we are deep into the Lake Stevens 70.3 training. Week 7? Week 16? Honestly, I’ve lost track as it’s been a blur of trying to balance work, training, traveling back and forth between Oregon and California to see my husband, and you know…life (and I’m just too lazy to go back and count the weeks). From the library of..."Selfies to communicate with my husband and this ridiculous long distance relationship we have." What I can tell you is that the past ...
6 TRUTHS FROM A NEWBIE SWIMMER
Oh swimming, you’re my favorite in-water sport out of all three triathlon sports. Kind of the same way that my dad used to tell me, “You’re my favorite 12-year-old daughter.” I have two sisters.

Chose A Lane With Similarly Paced Swimmers You arrive at the pool full of mojo (or not) and are ...
Aiming to Beam
Oh heeeeeeey. I think I’ve lost track of what week of training I’m on as you know…life…has been a little bit chaotic. Chaotic in the good way, chaotic in the “I just want to take a nap” way, but chaotic in the “I know I am so blessed to have this chaotic life” way. Rather than trying to recap the multiple weeks of training that I’ve missed posting, I thought I’d share a bit about a redefined perspective, without divulging my inner soul. This week in Portland, the sun came out. But in a ...
Running and Swimming in London
I planned on posting this earlier, but then my body completely melted down and gave me two big middle fingers for running it into the ground. Needless to say, I couldn't do more than hit play on episodes of "New Girl," which isn't half bad considering I have finally found a TV character that most resembles my true self. No, not Schmidt. But better late than never... As I mentioned in my earlier post, London surprised me. It’s not just a major urban metro filled with history, but it’s ...
