Every now and again I approach Rob with the phrase, "So, I had an idea…" After which he looks at me half scared and half excited. The latest idea…completing an Ironman in one week. Originally, I wanted to do this in three days - one event per day. But, biking 112...
November Challenge
Well, well, well, hello almost Friday. Thanks for taking your dandy old time. Anyone else feel like this week dragged? I woke up this morning thinking it was Friday. Spoiler alert: it wasn't. At least the weather was absolutely beautiful this afternoon and I got in a...
Plyo-Ab Challenge and August Looking Ahead
Can you believe August is upon us already? I feel like the summer just barely started and here we are staring down the tunnel to Fall and the start of a new school year. Insane! With a new month, comes a new fitness challenge! Since you know I love plyos, and ab moves...
Body Basics Challenge and July Looking Ahead
It is extremely hard to believe that summer is half over already. Since my school is moving to a more year-round model, we are only off for 6 weeks whereas most school districts give between 8-12 weeks. I know, I know. All you non-teachers are rolling your eyes and...
Full Body Fit 100 Challenge and June Looking Ahead
I honestly have no idea what happened to May. It feels like I blinked and here we are, only two days left. I’m not complaining though because June is full of some really exciting things! Here is what’s coming up this month: First ever Triathlon (this Sunday!) Start of...
Double P May Challenge
Can you believe May is already upon us? I feel like this year has just gone by insanely fast. With teaching winding down, my May is filling up rather quickly! Things coming up in May I am pumped about: My end of year review (I had it today and it went great!)...
31 Days, 100 Moves March Fitness Challenge
Happy almost TGIF! I don't know about you, but this week has been super busy, stressful, and overwhelming for me. I am definitely ready for a new one. Some positive news is that I am ahead on my monthly mileage! Secretly, (not anymore) I want to attempt to run 1,000...
March Madness Challenge
*Registration for this challenge is now closed. Check "Training Programs" for the next one!* I had so much fun training a hard working group of women during the Mile A Day Melt Away during January and February, that I want to do it again! How can I not when results...
I Blame The Snow
What is it about cold weather that makes me not want to put on my workout clothes? We had a bit of snow here in Denver this week. Between the slippery roads and the frigid (to me) temperatures, I was more interested in sitting by our faux fire with hot chocolate. Then...
Well, If You’re Going To Hide It
It feels unreal that another week has just flown by! The last three weeks have felt that way to me. By the time I look up, it's Thursday night and weekend plans are on the brain. I've felt vaguely nauseous for the past few days, so I opted to take today off from the...
30-Day Challenge Fail
Well the first ten days of the 30-Day Full Body Challenge are off to an epic fail. I did not complete the set reps of any of the moves except miles. Hopefully I can get my act together these next ten days and knock some of it out.The good news is I have gotten my...
30-Day Full Body Challenge
Happy Halloween! Rob and I are enjoying some SNL Halloween special after watching about 30 minutes of Michael Meyers 5 on TV. I am not a scary movie person. Nightmares tend to haunt me for a week afterwards. Scariest thing around here lately, mint chip ice cream made...
