You did not think I was done, did you? Saturday definitely was not over yet. I love Sand Hollow. It reminds me of Lake Powell. After our run we decided it was time for a little experiment. We drove out to Sand Hollow Reservoir to see what the water would be like. Both of us…

I love and believe what it says on my mountain bike: All Work and No Play is No Fun at All In college I was known for working hard AND playing hard and not much has changed. Ok, I’ll face it. Everything as changed. But I still like to play. Hard. I got to spend…

In order to qualify as Super a Saturday has to include the following: 2+ hours of training some kind of adventure quality family time good food Last saturday was one of them. Sweet! I jumped on the trainer for some nice riding while Karl got to run around outside. I thought I got a pretty…

I feel the need to write. My thoughts are all jumbled. Can I make sense of them on paper? Writing gives me perspective and makes it easier to let go. Last weekend I was very frustrated, mad, self-centered, unhappy, wallowing in self-pity. This weekend I was more balanced, a little more patient, trying to be…

Today I failed. In the pool. Big time. It has been on my mind all day and wanted to write down some of my thoughts. Since this isn’t just my scrapbook but also my journal of sorts. I had been down with a bad cough all weekend. (Ok, so I did some easy spinning while…

Usually there are at least 6 of us in a lane. Today it was just me and Mr. Speedo. Where was everyone else? Maybe they whimped out after we already got our butt kicked Monday and Wednesday. I usually whimp out.* But not this week. Or next week. Or the week after that. It is…

I am (hopefully) (maybe) (possibly) going to make Granola tonight. Jen wishes she could, too. But she is waiting for my recipe. Grandma Janelle’s recipe, that is. So I thought I would share it with all of you. Because I know you are going to love it once you put the time into making it….

Nope, I am not going back to school to get a Masters. I would like to but it is not very high on my priority list at the moment. Neither is Karl. He already has one and is currently looking into PhD programs for next fall. I did, however, join the Orem Masters Swim Team….

So far, this season has been really good. I have done 4 races and have been able to stand on top of the podium 4 times. Yeah! I am still far from where I could be and would like to be but, I guess, I’ll take it. But I really need to get my act…
