Hi, I've been involved in lotsa outdoor stuff for a few years now. Running and road cycling are my favorite, though I'm better at running. I've been doing triathlons since 2000. I'm a horrible swimmer. The mountains are my friends, even though they've caused a good deal of suffering as well - I've done lotsa hiking, mountaineering and cross country skiing/snowshoeing. I'm basically happy...

I'm a Rocky Mountain at-home mom who dropped almost 20 pounds in 2009 through manageable workouts and healthy eating. No gimmicks, no fancy equipment, no magic pills. On the way, I fell in love with cycling, so I'm writing about it so regular folks see that they can get out and ride, too!

I spent my teens, 20's and 30's doing unhealthy things to my body and emotions and I've been trying to break those habits ever since. I started running when I was 46 and ran my first marathon when I was 47. Having completed 30 marathons in 18 states, I finally admitted that I'd like to complete all 50 states. Whether running, cycling or swimming I'm a front of the back of the packer who would...
The bipolar disorder diagnosis at the age of 23 was a relief to know I was not simply a bad person and there was a reason for the way I have felt. Yet I have been struggling to cope and understand this disorder... what does it mean? How do the brain imbalances affect my behavior and moods? Why do I rapid cycle? Why do I get obsessive thoughts? Is there a link between mania and memory? Is there...
I'm a writer, a wife, a graduate student, a wanna be mother, and someone who never thought of herself as an activist, but maybe is, just a little.
I blog about Intuitive Eating, which is helping me work through an eating disorder that has been with me most of my life. I no longer diet, nor do I advocate dieting - but I also believe we must take our own paths in life.
My goal in blogging is to...
