It's been a busy Halloween season, with two parties, a trip to Bug-a-Boo at the Butterfly Pavilion, and trick or treating (of course)! Tyler had lots of fun with all the activities, and even got used to his costume, eventually. Tyler was a dinosaur for...

Hi everyone. Thanks so much for your well-wishes and support. I really appreciate it. Just thought I would post a quick update to let you all know how I'm doing. Surgery went very well. I talked to my doctor this afternoon (one of the perks of knowing...

It's official, race season is at an end. I finished my season two weeks ago by running the Fans on the Field 10k with my friend Amy. It was a really cool race, although I didn't really get to "race" it. I ran it with Tyler in the jogging stroller, and...

I was lucky enough to spend last weekend in Glenwood Springs with my good friend, Becky. Just me and Becky. NO TODDLERS! Don't get me wrong, I love Tyler more than life itself, but mama needed a vacation! We had an absolutely phenomenal weekend with hiking,...

We've had some absolutely gorgeous fall weather recently. Tyler and I have been trying to take advantage by getting out and doing some hiking and biking. We met some friends up at Reynolds Park a week or so ago. Reynolds Park is one of my absolute favorite...

Ok, time to wrap up this long and drawn out vacation report! We finished up our big road trip with a drive down to Durango to ride the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad . I'd been wanting to go down to Durango and ride the railroad since we...

AKA a visit to Rapid City, with a couple of stops along the way! My stepfather's navy shipmates have a reunion every year, and this year's was in Rapid City. When I mentioned to my mom that I had always wanted to see Mt Rushmore, she said that Tyler and...

I'm still sorting through the just plain silly amount of photos I took at Mt Rushmore and in Durango, but I did at least get the photos from our trip to Ohio uploaded. This was a kind of last-minute trip we took, in part to get a chance to go see the...

Today I wrapped up my 2008 triathlon season with the Boulder Tri-Babes Sprint Tri. This was the first year for this women-only race, and it was a lot of fun! I pulled into Union Reservoir in Longmont 10 minutes before transition was set to open this morning,...

I'm still working on sorting through the hundreds of pictures I took on our trip, but hopefully I will be able to get a trip report up sometime in the next few days. In the meantime, here are a couple of videos I took of Tyler. I think they're pretty...

Ok, I admit it, I've been slacking on the blog entries lately! I don't really have much to say right now either, but I felt like I should break the silence before we hit the road tomorrow. :-p Tyler and I are headed out on part two of a three part vacation...

Today was the Rattlesnake Olympic triathlon. I was really looking forward to this race...my friend Amy talked me into doing it a few weeks ago and I thought it would be fun, especially since there's no way it could be as hard as the Boulder Peak was!...

I came across this commercial and thought it was hilarious. Enjoy! p.s. For the non-triathletes out there, did I mention that it's official...I am nuts. My friend Amy talked me into signing up for another Olympic race. Next weekend! Woohoo! Rattlesnake...

This just in... Tyler ate vegetables for dinner! And not just the pseudo-veggies potatoes and corn either. He ate mixed vegetables. Ok, so he picked out the green beans, but he ate the carrots, peas and of course, the corn. Woohoo! I'm pretty sure I've...

Today, I did something that makes me feel, for the first time, like a "real cyclist." I rode up Highgrade! Highgrade is a very popular training route for cyclists here in the Denver area. You start in Deer Creek Canyon and ride up, up, up for about 10...

I did it! I finished my first Olympic distance triathlon yesterday! It was long, it was hard, it was fun, and it was HOT. My weekend in Boulder started out with the expo and packet pick-up on Saturday. I bought the CUTEST t-shirt for Tyler at the expo,...

Boulder Peak . This is the race that anyone who's anyone in triathlon in the state of Colorado (and some beyond) comes out for. There are at least a couple of Olympians racing in this race. The best of the best, the elite. Oh yeah, and me. :-p I will...

So many friends and family members have asked me so many questions about triathlons that I thought it might be informative to write a sort of FAQ post about tris! I think the question that I get asked the most is about the distance involved in the triathlon....

Allow me to transcribe (more or less) today's lunch. On the menu, macaroni and cheese. Tyler: Hot? Me (from the kitchen, making my own lunch): Blow on it. T: (blows on it, takes a bite) T: Hot? Me: Blow on it. T: (blows on it, takes a bite) Repeat. At...

Ah, Danskin. This is where it all began last year, the start of a journey and a transformation. Wow, that's deep! :-p I had really high hopes for this race, especially as it was supposed to be a true, apples to apples comparison, a measurement of how...

Ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys, I have STRAWBERRIES! Woohoo, I am so excited! Planting strawberries was totally an experiment and I was totally skeptical that it would work, but I have berries growing. I currently have three (well, 2, I ate the...

Tyler and I are back from a crazy, hectic nearly two week tour of Ohio, and I think we need a vacation from our vacation! I'm TIRED. We covered most of the state, put over 1000 miles on the rental car in a week, and saw lots of friends and family. We...

Woohoo! My first triathlon of the season is in the books, and it was a good one! I've been pretty nervous for the past week or so about this race. I've been so locked into running mode lately (and with great results!) that I had a minor panic attack when...

Phew! It's been a crazy couple of days around here with birthday activities galore! We spent Tyler's actual birthday on Friday hanging out with friends at the zoo. Lots of fun was had by all...we rode the train and the carousel, had a picnic lunch, and...
