We got about 10 inches of snow last night,but that's not going to stop us from exercising outside this weekend.

Jan 2 Athlete Food: Pre-Race Breakfast - Ancient Grain Oatmeal

I just plunked down $800 to buy an Ironman pro license and signed up for my first race of 2014: An Ironman 70.3 in February. So, yeah, I’m doing a 180 from not-a-care-in-the-world vacation mode of the last few weeks to I-have-to race-in-44 days panic. Well, it isn’t that extreme, but I do have to start focusing on the work to be done over the next month…and maybe stop eating so much chocolate.

Breakfast, Recipe

My favorite way to end a year is with a monster workout - a 10k swim, a bike ride up that includes at least one repeat of the steepest part of Mountain Rest Road or a long trail run.

Dec 20 Amy a 11 Months

Sarah

This is a sneak peek at part of our holiday card and also what Amy Frances looks like now that she's 11 months. She is at the stage where she stands on her own, until she realizes she is standing, and then she plops down. We think she's on the verge of walking, but we've been saying that for a few weeks, so who knows! Other than that, she has a few tricks like making a funny face, pointing to things, and best of all, hugging on demand. Seriously. I'm not sure where she picked it up, certainly not from me (worst hugger ever), but it is the cutest thing in the world.

Dec 19 Bike Trainer Survival Guide

Laurel

So many people complain about how indoor bike training is SO BORING. We disagree. Ok, so riding in place, in your bedroom or basement, doesn't exactly compare to whizzing up and down mountains, but it doesn't have to be something to dread. And it just might make you a stronger cyclist.

Recipe

My go to training food when I'm in mid-season intense training is a peanut butter and honey slathered rice cake, inhaled, in seconds, over the kitchen sick. But on these cold December off-season training days, I feel like I deserve a little variety and more substance.
