When I was writing My Love Affair With France, I realized at the end that this was truly a perfect trip. Nothing actually went wrong nor did we even experience a little blip. In fact, from flights being on time, to each hotel being unique and welcoming, to perfect weather, to scrumptious food, to ballooning over Burgundy for goodness sakes, to meeting great tourists and…

Hey, I know it’s only February, but I’m thinking spring. The trihubby is already in training mode and focused on his first race coming up at the end of March. Me, I’m thinking about my own spring training as a triwife. I can’t just rest on last year’s laurels, after all. There are things to do and actually people to see to prepare myself for…

Winter blues have definitely set in for us and from tweets and posts, I can tell it has for a lot of you, too. This has been such a long winter and our first out of Texas in many years. On the weekends, we’ve slept in a bit and gotten around to brunch close to 10am, which is so not our norm. With it often…

My husband and I were so fortunate to take 10 days and travel from Paris, France to the French Riviera, stopping at a few choice venues along the way. While I just can’t seem to get enough of Paris and find something new and exciting each time I visit, I now can add a few other lovely villages and towns to my love affair with…

It’s hard to believe that after the year we had in 2014, we are now just 30 days away from the first race of the season. I have to admit I’m very happy it’s a 70.3 and not a full Ironman. Selfishly, it’s a shorter day for the family…and for him, I’m still a bit on edge nearly 9 months after he was hit by…

For a long time now, I have been taking an annual trip with at least one, but usually two plus girlfriends. I think it started when my close friend moved back to the UK and it was the only way we could always assure seeing each other. But, that said, I even did this during my first marriage. We try to vary the trips between…

Many people call me crazy when it comes to food. Sorry folks, in this case when it comes to triathlete nutrition, I am the sane one. My husband is the one that trains 2-4 hours or sometimes even 6 hours a day. He is the one that dawns spandex and swims, bikes, and runs for 11 hours for a race. Me, I prefer to throw…

I started keeping a travel journal in 1999. I called it THE TRAVEL ADVENTURES OF CARL & SHERRY. Okay, so not too original…It was actually my husband’s idea, as he thought it would be great to have these memories in our old age or whenever we just wanted to look back. I truly could see us sitting outside at our home, pulling out that journal,…

I really can’t believe I’m writing this again. I was hoping I never would and it’s almost a year to the date. But, here I am… My trihubby signed up for a triathlon training camp in Kona with Matt Dixon of purplepatchfitness and of course, I was tagging along – never a question. The trip has been planned and looked forward to for months. We…

We advise working as a team, triathlete and tripartner, when choosing a favorite triathlon venue for the family. Not only do you have to consider if it’s a good race for the triathlete, but also if it’s good for the family and/or your spectators. With extremely long days for full-distance races, the locations have to offer activities to keep everyone happy and occupied and places…

Week three with my personal trainer and I am still alive and very proud to say that! To catch you up, I hired a personal trainer in my goal of getting fit at 46 to workout twice a week for an hour each session. And, I’ll be honest, even that is proving tough to squeeze in. Between everything I’m doing these days and my “stick…
