About Me

I am a full time project manager and a part time endurance athlete, book lover, and amateur photographer.  I got into endurance events back in 2006 when I decided I wanted to run a marathon.  The funny part about this before I made this decision, I had not done an endurance event in my life.  My goals were big, but I believe go big or go home.   With the help of Team in Training I completed the Chicago Marathon.

In 2007, a friend of mine told me she wanted to do a triathlon before her 40th birthday and asked if I

wanted to do it with her.  Because I am someone that does is always willing to try something  once (well, except sky diving or bungie jumping) i joined an amazing group of woman and completed my first triathlon.  The minute I crossed the finish line I knew I found my sport and was hooked.  I went on and competed in various spring and olympic distance triathlons.

My intention of this blog is a place for me to share all things I love about endurance sports and the 

training I am doing for my latest endurance endeavor   I also want to show that endurance athletes come in all shapes and sizes and never let someone stop you from what you want to do.   I also tend to write about the crazy antics of my life with my husband, our two cats, and two dogs.  There also may be mentions of wine, & whiskey because wine & whiskey makes everything better.
