I should be well into biking 10,400 miles as a way to spread the word and raise money for the non-profit I founded earlier this year, Never Too Weak to Wander. Instead, I’m practicing my forehand (and backhand and serve and volley) and learning how to engage my powerhouse while rolling like a ball and doing the 100...

Quite a bit of it. With chocolate chips and peanut butter M&Ms in it. What am I eating this time around? Brown rice. With a few pieces of mango, ¼ cup of blueberries, and ¼ of an apple. I know. Crazy, crazy stuff...

I made myself chocolate chip cookies for breakfast. And have continued eating them through lunch as I’ve blown off an 80-mile bike ride...

First things first -- three loads of laundry and four overnight bags to pack for the kids. Teddy bears, favorite blankets and Star Wars guys were essentials, of course! How was I going to manage to pull this off? But I also had this competitive urge in me as I was prepping for our first trip to California, and our first international qualifier...

We host several events, but the largest is the Alley Loop. This is a great event that draws everyone from the casual recreational to the elite athlete. It requires planning and planning, and is also the largest race that runs through this small town...

I know what you are thinking --- beach volleyball in the midwest, in February?? Yes! My partner Kat and I decided to start our season a little early with our first tournament at an indoor sand volleyball facility in Wisconsin...

The first race of the year is now under my belt! We raced on a glacier in Austria called Solden, under blue skis and on very icy conditions. Solden is always a weird race...

Steve Fosset mania has hit Mammoth, kind of literally actually. Rumors started to spread early in the week that a guy from a local sports store found a wallet and pilot's license with Steve Fosset's name on it. When he mentioned finding it to a friend and turned in the stuff to the local police, things in our quiet town started to stir...

Out of the four different years I have been to New Zealand, this year welcomed us with the biggest snow base I had seen yet. New Zealand is always a starter camp for our team, in which we ease back into full speed training after a good three months of summer workouts under our belts...
