I used to work in Celebration, Florida. I realized today that was about 14-15 years ago. How did that happen? I remember going rollerblading a few times while I worked there, but I didn’t have a bike back then. One of my blogger friends Kelly has been blogging a lot lately about biking around Celebration,…
I’m sitting here watching the final stage of the Tour de France wondering to myself why it’s not on a network tv channel. It’s been on NBC Sports this year, which is great…but still. More people need to watch this amazing event. I know the Tour took a lot of heat for all the doping…
Scene: My house, Friday night. I’m in my penguin pajamas around 6:30pm as I’m exhausted and ready for bed. However, this is the first weekend in a LONG time where we have ZERO PLANS. My husband comes in from outside and says, the Duncans are here. That’s my sister’s family. So I go outside, in…
June 2013: 152.75 miles – 78,110 pounds lifted This month was filled with lots of outdoor bike adventures around Marco Island and at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground. It’s been very hot, humid and stormy here in Central Florida to get in a lot of road time. Lots of road miles, but not a lot of…
There are few things I enjoy more than a morning bike ride where I can explore. I get bored with the same old, but love to ride and find new places, trails and adventures. We recently went camping at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground. We’ve gone before, but this is the first time I’ve brought my…
I don’t know about you, but May was a rough month. I was sick, tired, school was ending – just a lot going on. I didn’t get to the gym as much as I would like. But the good news, I did spend a lot more time riding my bike – able to hit the…
We love staying out at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort. (More to come on that in a later blog…) We have been there a number of times and it’s just about the perfect vacation spot. It’s about a two hour drive from Orlando, close enough but not too close. This time, I figured I would bring…
May is bike month. Did you know that? It’s also one of the few months in Florida where the weather can be PERFECT for bike riding. For years I’ve debated biking to work. But as a working mom, there are many factors to consider: Do I need to pick up kids from school? Most days…
Overall, April was a great workout month. Despite two different out-of-town trips, I got a lot of workouts in. PLUS, a lot of walking in Chicago and Washington, D.C. So happy that this is now just habit…now I need to kick it up a notch and do more of something different because I’m still not…
This past weekend I hit the 50% mark of my yearly biking goal! Over 1,000 miles have been logged on the bike. Now, a lot of that is spin class, but it counts and damn it…it’s not easy to do it every morning at 6am. At this pace, I’ll almost double my yearly goal!! I…
