This is my Sunday so far: Woke up. Drank water. Drank coffee. Ate a banana. 2500 meter swim workout. (Saw a girl swimming with headphones and an iPod strapped to her arm somehow. NEED THIS WATER-PROOF CONTRAPTION IMMEDIATELY.) Ate half of a Clif Bar. Ate another banana. Drank Nuun. One hour outdoor bike ride. Ate … Continue reading »
I went to my first team swim practice on Monday night. And I SURVIVED! Who would have thought. Turns out, I’m better at swimming than I thought. I kept up with the team. Apparently, my form was good enough to not warrant participation in the “needs extra help group”. Not that anything is wrong with … Continue reading »

The snooze button. Bad news. I snoozed my alarm clock for approximately an hour and a half on Saturday morning and I definitely paid for it in sweat. Instead of heading out for my run at 7:30 am, I started closer to 9. Okay, 9:30. Way too late in the summer! It was pretty darn … Continue reading »
In the spirit of getting triathlon ready and conquering some additional items on my fitness bucket list, I decided to hop on a bike today and head out for a leisurely ride. I bring you: “Kara’s Thoughts While Bike Riding”. Are you intrigued yet? Welcome to my brain: “Hmm…which side is the front of the … Continue reading »
Hiii there. Remember me? Kara? Sorry for being so checked out of the technological world over the past few days! I was sort of “off the grid” as they say. Why, you ask? No specific reason – just enjoying life like they did in the “olden days”. AKA back when cell phones and the Internet … Continue reading »
Thanks so much to those of you who read my last post and are thinking of Steve and his family this week. I HATE CANCER and I’m thankful that my current job puts me in a position to contribute to finding a cure, albeit in a small way. Although still feeling a little melancholy, I … Continue reading »
