The past week has been a whirlwind of triathlon preparation and panic positive thinking. But I’m happy to announce that I have officially completed my very first TRIATHLON! As many of you know from my last post, I was NOT expecting to do a tri so soon, but boy am I glad I did it. […]
As many of you know I’m currently training for my very first half marathon! I’m SUPER excited about the idea of crossing the finish line after 13.1 miles. Although I may not be fast, and it may take me a while to finish, I love races!
The following information and training plan is something that I’ve used in the past when preparing for my first triathlon. I am, by no means, a professional or licensed trainer.

Last week I had an opportunity to drive and review a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 as part of the blogger outreach program through DriveShop USA!
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, today I wrapped up 3 weeks with Fox Fitness! We started our morning with mid-month measurements and a fitness assessment!

Last year was the first time I hatched baby chicks in my 6th grade science classroom. It was SUCH an amazingly beautiful learning experience for my students and I. Not only did they learn the science behind how life grows and develops from cell to organism, but they also learned priceless lessons that neither rubric […]
I wanted to start writing training posts when I originally signed up for the Sarasota half marathon in early December (especially a post about signing up because we all know that’s the hardest part and deserves its own post!), but I just haven’t dedicated the time to actually sit down and plan it all out.
Can you BELIEVE it’s that time of year? Wasn’t it JUST September like a second ago?
