Aside from being gluten free to help control allergies, I don't adhere to a specific diet. Some days I'll eat sweet potato fries from the local diner or have a huge handful of M&M's after dinner and dessert.
We hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! Here are a few photos from our weekend at The Farm.

We've teamed up with the Starlight Children's Foundation this holiday season. Through their 12 Days of Giving program, we're helping fullfill holiday wishes of hundreds of kids in hospitals.
We like this program because it allows people to donate items directly to kids in need.

Sarah's 5 Tips for Winter Baby Jogging
Just one look at this week’s forecast makes me shiver in my Shearling boots: With a high of only 38 degrees today, I’m accepting the fact that winter is here to stay. Which means no longer can you just dash outside in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Now, the outfit has to be constructed of layers on top and bottom, hats, gloves, neck warmers, arm warmers...
Just in case your haven't already started getting excited for Thanksgiving, we thought we'd post some photos. Every year we gather at our grandparents' farm in Maryland for three days of visiting, relaxing, playing, and eating. It's a triathlon-free holiday (to borrow a term from pro triathlete Amanda Lovato), except for the Thankgiving morning turkey trot. There are always lots of laughs and plenty of fun had by the all the kids, dogs, aunts, uncles and cousins.

I have something to confess. I've gotten into the habit of devouring embarrassing amounts of chips after long days on the bike. Last weekend, I knocked back an entire bag of Sea Salt Lundberg rice chips, including all of the crumbs. Even though I can justify all day long that I deserve those 600 calories of salty carbs, I know my body needs more nourishment than that after a 4 hour ride. 
We have a "house salad" for dinner at least 3 times a week. In the Athlete Food kitchen, this means combining the best, and least weird, ingredients from what's on hand in the refrigerator and pantry. The house dressing is almost always dressed with our Maple Curry Salad Dressing, but for last night's meal, I strayed and used tomatillo sauce.
