Plantar Fasciitis - Water Running?
Well, it happened last week. Went too hard the other day on a hill run, and woke up the next morning with that unmistakable heel pain. Didn't think much of it at the time, went for a run that afternoon and woke up the next day in massive pain. I'm trying to do all the helpful things - got my brace thingy for sleeping, do…

Sticky buns!
I MADE GF STICKY BUNS TODAY!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!! Okay, we're still in the experimental stage. Always things to tweak, especially after the first attempt. My 3 daughters and I all agreed they were delicious, but not sticky enough. So we'll have to make them a little more sticky and a little less bunny next time. Here's what…

Savageman Group
For all you hardcore triathletes, there's a new group just formed, called "Savageman". It's basically for people who are some day hoping to, are currently training for, or have already raced Savageman. If you're familiar with Savageman, stop on by and join the conversation. If you're not familiar with this triathlon, here…

Yeah, that's right. I'm a SAHD. And I'm PROUD of it.
Yeah, that's right. I'm a SAHD. And I'm PROUD of it, dammit. I don't care who says what stupid comment. I don't care how many times I'm told "Better you than me, buddy." or "Your wife must feel so lucky that she can leave you with the kids." or whatever other garbage I hear. I don't care how many times working vs/ SAH…

Kombucha question.
Any kombucha drinkers out there? And if so I have an odd little question. I have some children who have tummy issues, and we're working toward a more healthful, healing type diet. Which, of course, would include kombucha. We've tried many of the GT brands, and honestly, they're pretty darn delicious. The problem is, every…

Are Stay At Home Dads welcome?
Are stay at home dads welcome? Sometimes groups I've run across are strict - Moms only. Other times, it's an issue of experience (as in, "We've never met a SAHD before... We didn't know you existed!") or semantics ("All parents are welcome, we just use 'moms' in our title.") Thanks.

What's a good way to say "Thanks for all you do"?
Okay here's the problem: My VERY hard working wife has started expressing issues with feeling unappreciated. Now if you ask me, that's not at all true. But I'm not asking me, I'm asking her. So I was hoping somebody might have a good way to tell her "Thanks for all the hard work, crappy hours, and frustrating problems you…

Christmas Morning Virtual Workout
Hi all. My goal on Christmas is to wake up super early and VERY quietly head to the basement where my trainer is, in hopes that my daughters (9, 7, 7) don't hear me. With luck, I'll be able to put in a good hour before things get crazy. Does anybody else have any Christmas workout plans they'd like to share? Maybe we could…

I'm thankful for...
This Thanksgiving I give thanks for: * My wife and children who tolerate this crazy triathlon habit. It's not easy for them, and it sure siphons off a good chunk of family time and income... * My 9yo daughter who raced her first tri this summer. She finished pretty low in the pack and didn't care at all. She was what every…
