Chocolate Power Shake
Over the years I have adjusted and tweeked my morning, post-workout, breakfast/protein shake. This is the one that has proven to be a real winner with my body. It holds me over for hours, and makes me feel great. It did end up with quite a few ingredients so I tend to...

Acro Yoga
This is me, trying to find my feet and balance on someone else’s feet at the same time. I took an acro yoga class and had a blast. It’s a mix of yoga and acrobatics but to me it felt like playing on the playground during recess. You don’t have to be...

Zoe (younger daughter) and I went to Phoenix for the Easter Weekend. It just so happens that there was a Tempe Town Lake open water swim that Saturday, April 11th. It was too much of a coincidence to let that one go. Zoe has not been in the water since she became a...
