I’ve been MIA from my blog a bit !! First it was sickness and then it was sickness mixed with a long awaited trip! We had a magical week, with a bit of tantrums, meltdowns and remnant sickness thrown in. A few teaser pictures before I resume normal blogging posts!
When all3sports announced the weekend with Andy Potts, Professional Triathlete and multiple 70.3 & 140.6 winner; my first thought went to the evening with Craig Alexander, again organized by all3sports. I was super excited about meeting Crowie and then life (and my minions) took over and I missed the event. So this time, I was determined to not let to let that happen and instead dragged my minions along (if you’d cannot beat them, join them!)! But other than the…
If you can’t go to Disney, then bring Disney to you at the runDisney Atlanta Meetup! That is what #OnTheRoadToDisneyParks was all about and Atlanta was lucky to have the first meetup. Even though I’m not running any Disney events this year, we are going down in December. What better way to get me all extra excited about our trip!!! Amy from Mom’s Magical Miles and I carpooled down to Turner Field, the home of Atlanta Braves (atleast until…
A classic example of being in the right place at the right time. In cyberworld, that is. A few days ago, there was this tweet from @rundisney, that I honestly didn’t give a second thought to. I mean, what are the odds that they’d pick Atlanta, right? It's official! #runDisney Meet-Ups are going on the road.

Life and running/triathlon are so intertwined with each other that there are plenty of life lessons to be learned from running/triathlon and vice-versa. Last week, I attended a triathlon transition clinic by Dan Arnett of Endurance Concepts, an Atlanta based coaching group. While it had the basics of transition (the what, the why and the how),…
Just when I wrote the Tech Junkie or Tech Slave post, kidlet #2 (4) demonstrated that she is a chip off the old block by “running” all around the house but insisting that she wear my Garmin for it. And when she finished – she wanted to see how far she had run and how fast!! Goes to show how much we influence our kids! Do your kids imitate you and want to use your gadgets? Other than the usual…
I saw the ‘Hey Girl’ sign at Chicago Marathon last year and it brought a HUGE smile to my flu-hazed mind. Not because I have seen Ryan Gosling, but because of girly silliness and the memories of the meme.The Channing Tatum, someone posted on my facebook page and of course, he’s the new “hottie” after Magic Mike. In my alternate reality, If I could have THE person waiting for me at the finish, I’d choose Steve Waugh, ex-Australian Cricket captain and the…
