Stuff I Love!: Eat Fit

Jul

2012

Ok, this is something that I really need. Introducing Dumb-Bell Cutlery, a must for people actively looking to lose weight but not prepared to stop eating. Eat yourself skinny with these 1kg knives and forks and the 2kg dessert spoon (because you only use one hand fatty). This is going to revolutionise the diet industry ...

Stuff I’m Learning: How to Be Alone by Andrea Dorfman

Jun

2012

A touching and beautiful tribute to the specialness of being alone. I stumbled upon this video on of all places my Buddhist Psychotherapist’s website, which had a link. I personally found it touching and I’ll be honest, I held my breathe and nearly welled up a bit while watching it. However, this coming from someone ...

Look Mom, I made my first downhill video. I’m not even falling down or embarassing myself. Hell, I don’t even look that slow. Can you tell I’m excited? Ok, watch me head down through the rock garden at 1:16 in my black Eternal Roots practice jersey. W00t! GES #1 at Mountain Creek bike park. ...

Does anyone else think that this looks as awesome as I do? A friend and coworker alerted me to this and now I’m thinking that I must do this. It’s called “Run For Your Lives” and it’s billed as a “zombie infested 5k obstacle course race”. My husband and teenage daughter are obsessed with zombies ...

Jun

2012

The 2012 Gravity East Series kicked off this weekend at Mountain Creek Bike Park. I was familiar with the track because it was the exact same race course from two weeks ago at the Eastern States Cup #1. However, stormy weather and a well-worn in track made for very different riding conditions. Despite the slick ...

My first time on a bike in months, the downhill season kicks off with a tough course at Mountain Creek (fka Diablo). I forgot my brake was broken, so Jamie quickly gave me the rear brake off of his cross-country bike. I came in a respectable 2nd place of 5 riders in my category. Jamie ...

2012

Can you spot me? Here’s a hint: I won the POC Speed Trap, clocked at 24mph and was awarded a helmet. I also took home first place for my category, yeah! I also broke my middle finger around the knuckle early in practice. Afterward I wasn’t able to hold the bars steady on drops and ...

Almost Home

My husband and I met while I was still attending the University of Maryland at College Park. My best friend in College was his best friend in High School. We loved all of the same things. Things like Martial Arts, he did Jujitsu, I did Aikido. We like things that go fast, he had ...

My Two Pennies: soleRebels vs TOMS 1

Apr

2012

We all need shoes. Some, like myself, also just like shoes. I enjoy buying shoes. Unfortunately I can’t really afford to do it often, but occasionally I have the opportunity to replace a pair or two. Typically my casual shoes because I wear them most often and they take a beating. So, this year when ...
