My Top Tips for Working Out While on Vacation

Who doesn't like to work out while on vacation? 

Ok, I am sure there are a lot of people who would prefer not to, but sometimes you just can't help yourself. For me, I love to run when I travel to new cities. Even if its a quick three miler, some weights in the gym or a workout video, it still gets me working up a sweat.

Review of Kaenon Burnet Sunglasses

At the Escape the Cape triathlon last year, Delmo Sports had a plethora of vendors to visit and even the opportunity to win some cool prizes. That and of course they were offering some steep discounts. 

In 2015 at Challenge AC, I came across this booth for Kaenon. Now I have just purchased some new sunglasses so I wasn't looking to add any new ones to my rotation, but in 2016 I had a change of heart. 

Let Me See Your Qalo

I don't know about you, but I do not like to workout with my jewelry on, especially my rings. So upon getting married, I knew I had to invest in some new "rings" that I could work out in. After seeing many ads around the endurance sports universe, I came across Qalo and knew I had to give it a shot.

Vermont Covered Bridges Half Marathon

June 4, 2017

Woodstock to Quechee, VT

Time: 1:45:30

AG Place: 16th

I FINALLY was able to cross Vermont off my list. I have read many race reviews from other websites trying to find the best race to run in Vermont, and this received the highest reviews by far. And I understand why. 

Columbia Duathlon, or as I call it, Columb I gotta climb another hillia Duathlon

May 21, 2017

Columbia, MD

2.2 Mile Run, 25 Mile Bike, 6.2 Mile Run

Time: 2:34:53

AG: 1st

Overall: 6th Place

I know I am late putting together reviews of these races and I am sorry, but here they are!

I raced the Columbia Duathlon more as a fun warm up run/something to do plus I would like to try and do more duathlons in the future so I figured I'd give this a try. I knew it was going to be hilly, but I didn't expect it to be that hilly. So this race was a great tune up and eye opener, I gotta practice on more hills. 

National Bike To Work Day

Today is National Bike to Work Day where I am very excited to be participating. As a regular bike commuter (during the warmer months) I am happy to see that cities are embracing the day and celebrating it and those who commute by bike. 

My Tips For Bike Commuting To Work

Have you decided that you have spent enough time in the car on your commute to and from work? It drives you crazy getting stuck in traffic to travel 10 miles or less? Or is your walk to and from the metro as long as it would take you to bike to work? 

Well if you are like me, bike commuting may be in your future. I am lucky enough to live less than 5 miles from where I work, but I do know many folks who live 10 miles or more from their place of employment. And like them, we all choose to bike to and from work. You may be saying to yourself: 

I would like to bike to work, but I don't want to carry everything with me
OR
What do I do if I get all sweaty?'
OR
Drivers are not smart where I live. What if I get hit?
