I am totally and completely in love with Washington’s Green Grocer. A small mixed box is $32.50, and you can order it per week, bi-weekly, or “on demand” to be delivered to your door! Yesterday we received our first box, and WOW was it…
In my last post, I had discussed the probability of dropping from the international distance to the sprint distance at the Luray Triathlon this past weekend. Of course, a few good friends of ours let us know they were having their housewarming on Saturday afternoon, which left us trying to…
As you may have noticed from the title of this post, I was recently involved in a pretty terrifying bicycle accident. I’ve been training pretty aggressively, and I’ve put about 250 miles on my new bike since I got it in April. Four months of riding…
The Pohanka Nissan/Hyundai – YMCA Colonial Beach Sprint Triathlon was held this past weekend, on Saturday July 13th in Colonial Beach, VA. The start was at 6:50AM, so we had to leave home in Arlington at around 4:30am (way too early for this!). Nathan and I entered…

Thursday the 13th of June was my 26th birthday, and turned out to be my best one yet. Usually I dread my birthday, not because of getting older but because I have always had bad birthdays. The past couple years I have had to work late, have had some major…
Yesterday I achieved another goal – I completed a sprint triathlon and became a triathlete. This goal was not easy to come by, and it did not go smoothly. There were days before the race I just couldn’t train anymore, and a lot of mentally frustrating workouts. My…
Sunday mid-morning I received a devastating phone call from my father. Jerry, my uncle, had passed away at 61 years old. Jerry wasn’t just my uncle. He was my mom’s only brother and he had cerebral palsy. At one point in my childhood I can…
Wanda, our 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare, has been spending the past week at a farm in Marshall, VA with an experienced reproductive veterinarian to hopefully become an expectant mother. Unbeknownst to her, we delicately chose “Royal Classic” as her mate, and shipped the “goods”…
