Goals – To maintain my status as mom & wife while enjoying life to the fullest. It may seem to some that I do a lot but I believe that if I am enjoying life and fitness then I am a positive role model for my girls. If I can do all that and still be there for the field trips to the pumpkin patch and listening to my girls read bedtime stories and share their day with me then I think we are all the happier for it!
Personal Philosophy – Moderation is the key to a healthy, happy life.

Goals – Complete an Olympic Distance Triathlon before I turn 40…want to train with me? I’m not telling you how long we have to train and I first have to learn how to swim. Hmmm, lofty goal. Okay, let’s try another one: Get my book published, sell the movie rights and pay off my house. Hmmmm. Raise two beautiful and intelligent daughters to become independent well-adjusted adults while maintaining my sanity and marriage. Do-able!
Personal Philosophy - If you get off the couch and start moving, it’s easier to keep moving. So come on! Get off the couch. PS I’m sitting on the couch while I write this
