everyday gourmet everyday gourmet monday october 1 2018 trying new things this past year has been a year of change we moved from a huge running community to an area that does not have the biking and running trails as our previous location i left my huge moms run this town group of over 1 000 to a small group of 100 or so but when we arrived in the south something happened i met women that were involved in triathlons there were a couple of ladies that were training for full ironman s i had never met women involved in this before i watched them train and ran their long runs with them and then i was able to watch them crush their goals by hours all of a sudden i was inspired to try something different i had been so used to just running and have run multiple marathons over the last 18 years i have tried to qualify for boston but keep missing it by a few minutes this was a different challenge for me i had to learn to swim distance and bike over 20 miles i signed up for my first half ironman in december and got to work it was hard but i had the best support team possible my friends taught me how to swim and bike they pushed me to keep trying and do things that i did not think i was capable of doing i biked my first century and swam in the lake without fear my husband would run whenever i asked or bike with me so i wouldn t have to be alone my friends spoke words of encouragement to me and gave me confidence to keep moving forward and finish the training then they came with me to the race they went with me to packet pickup they helped me set up my transition area helped calm my nerves and gave me advice on hydration and fuel they cheered me on during the run and i was able to see them 4 times on the course it was the best day i finished way under what i thought i would i am so glad that i listened to that small whisper that told me to try something different and new the voice that told me that i was capable of something that i thought i could not do i am so thankful for god that gave me strength when i thought i was weak https www youtube com watch v siat8jl2zpi i have loved being a skirtsports ambassador this year as well www skirtsports com first 50 mile bike ride with my cheerleader heather loving running with my hubby and our dog max www skirtsports com my friend andrea taught me so much about racing and how to prepare my bike that got me through hundreds of miles one of my many early morning swims i tried to swim twice a week my love our date was going on a 3 hour ride and then running a mile afterwards to help me get used to running in the heat my first sprint triathlon this summer 104 mile bike ride after the race this was the best day my cheerleaders october 01 2018 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday march 22 2018 ode to skirt sport i had never heard of skirt sports before until 6 years ago i took my older sister shopping for her birthday and she fell in love with th e lotta breeze capri it looked darling on her and i bought it for her that day she wore it all the time she wore it for errands working out and lounging she loved how it fit and how cute it looked after all the raving about this skirt sport company i looked into it she was right the lotta breeze capri was amazing i now own 3 of these capri s and multiple skirts shorts and shirts from skirt sports sometimes older sisters know best 2 years ago this beautiful sister of mine passed away from brain cancer one of the items that i have in my closet is the first skirt sport capri that i bought it i wear it often and remember all the wonderful things about her my sister march 22 2018 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest location prineville or 97754 usa i love running i love running when i first started 17 years ago 3 miles was so difficult i could never imagine doing more then that i had a sweet friend that would run with me in the evenings after my baby was in bed she kept encouraging me and i fell in love with the sport i did my first half marathon and realized that this was a sport i could do 15 full marathons later and 22 half marathons and i still love it at first i ran to lose the baby weight and then got my husband into the sport we would go on running dates when our kids were little we would take turns pushing the big double stroller and just talk and talk and talk it was wonderful you can talk about a lot of things during a 3 hour run i ran when i was happy and i ran when i was sad running played a huge roll in helping me find my joy again after my sister and dad passed away from cancer 2 years ago over the years my goals have changed at first i did marathons to just finish then i trained harder and did them for time the one thing that has stayed consistent over the years is how much i enjoy a long run i love the challenge of pushing myself and working towards a goal that i have set 2018 is a year of change for me i decided to try some new things this year and signed up for my first half im in augusta september 23 2018 i am so excited to work towards a new goal march 22 2018 email this blogthis
