My house is filled with active people. My trihubby works out 2-6 hours a day; dancer daughter dances 6 days a week, 3-4 hours a day; gymnast son works out 6 days a week, 3-4 hours a day; and then there is me. At 45, I was fit. I ran almost everyday and did some small workouts at home. Then I fell, literally, and I…

This week marks The TriWivesClub’s One Year Anniversary. To us, it’s an unbelievable milestone. Like everyone says these days, where did the time go? When Jodi wrote the first piece, 4:30 AM Really!!!!, on 8/2/13, we had no idea where it would take us. Would anyone want to read what we had to say? If they did, what should we write about it? More to the…

I have missed two out of three of my husband’s triathlons this year, which is very unusual for me. This is the same number I’ve missed in the 11 years he’s been doing triathlons. I’ve had very good reasons, but it’s been disappointing, never-the-less. I have to say I missed not being there more than I thought I would. They were both destination races, so…

Well, my 4 day detox cleanse on the Sakara Life program has come to an end. Click here to read about Days 1 – 3, if you haven’t been following. I made it through with relative ease and lost 3.4 lbs! The biggest issue was this undiagnosed craving I started having on Day 2. I really think it was for potato chips or something of that…

My triathlete husband is headed for Ironman Frankfurt and I am staying behind at home, again – sitter fell through this time. So, feeling a few pounds heavy these days, I thought I’d take the opportunity to do a cleanse and perhaps get back to eating better. I haven’t always been the easiest person to live with when I’ve done a cleanse in the past….

First, I want to again thank all of you who sent best wishes to my four-legged best friend from the bottom of my heart. Your words give me such comfort. Kayla is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday to remove the mass in her small intestines and do a liver biopsy, as the previous tests were “inconclusive”. So, another excruciating weekend of waiting; not just waiting…

Yesterday morning all was well in my world. I had just taken my husband’s bike to a local store to be picked up by Tribike Transport for Ironman 70.3 Oceanside. I was so looking forward to the trip to California. Many of our friends are doing the race and we were going to see family, including my husband’s 98 year old aunt. Plus, I was…

It took me a while to nail this one down…because let’s face it, once “The Season” starts, it doesn’t feel like there is EVER a non-triathlon weekend. If it isn’t a Race Weekend, then it is a Pre-Race Weekend, a Post-Race Recovery Weekend, or an Essential Training Weekend. What?!? Ok, ok, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. Maybe I need to define these terms before…

SHERRY chose RELEASE: to free from something that confines, constrains, or holds back. Not really being into resolutions, but still wanting to participate in the spirit of the season, the TriWives chose to opt for the “one word resolution” as our friend, Lindsay Cotter, had suggested and we loved the idea. You have just read what word I chose. But walking my dogs the other morning, I…
