Flattering words from a friend...

Sandra is my triathlon buddy- we did the 70.3 Timberman tri together and are looking at races together next season again. She's an incredibly speedy runner and a very inspiring person... Needless to say I am extremely psyched to have made her top 5 list!!!

And just as you thought I'd left this blog in the dust....


Yes, I've been MIA. Life has been a little hectic.
As you might have realized by my Facebook page, I've started my own business helping teach women how to negotiate better salaries and advocate for themselves and their compensation. You can learn more and follow me at www.salarycoaching.com.

As for my other antics- I didn't anticipate how sluggish I would become after the 1/2 IM! I was having a really hard time eating healthy, getting up to train, and being athletic overall. I tried to make up excuses- my wrist was hurting (from a pretty pathetic bike spill), too tired to wake up,  my start-up was consuming too much time, etc. But I hit a turning point when the scale told me I had put on 8 pounds since the race! Eeeeeeek!!!!!!!

Now I'm back out on the training arena. Not sure what for... I need to find a race (and I am happy to take suggestions). For now, I'm taking it to the trails... and making the whole family hit the trails as well!
Hiking Balch Hill.

Got lost on a three mile trail run... ended up doing seven!!!
