Yesterday was our friend Lino's 40th birthday so I decided to switch up our planned swim workout and do a 40-themed set instead.  The set looked harder than it turned out and it flew by.
We’re two sisters, both professional triathletes, and a food-writer friend who have joined forces to start a blog about how athletes really eat. Laurel snaps a fantastic photo. Melissa is a seasoned food and outdoors writer. And Bec cooks a fierce healthy meal.  Laurel and Melissa met on a plane to Italy years ago and then ended up working at the same magazine in NYC.  The three of us have been trading food ideas ever since.  

50 degrees and 50 miles - good way to start the year!  Check out the photo above - some people were even wearing shorts.  I was perfectly warm with my Nike Pro Combat baselayer underneath my Livestrong kit.  We rode just past Nyack with a quick stop for a muffin & coffee.  On the way home, I couldn't resist snapping this photo of the Hudson.
