I've been reading triathlon, exercise related blogs for awhile now. They've inspired me, and given me great workouts, and in general, fired up my inner athlete. But recently, I discovered baking/cooking blogs. And we just bought a house. So the combination of first house/amazing recipes has created a major nesting instinct that now has an outlet. This weekend it's pies for Easter (oh, and a chocolate red wine cake, which is possibly the greatest thing ever). At least my family will eat a major portion of the results. Also, have been making homemade burger buns for various spring time cookouts we have cooking out. I have an amazing cinnamon-sugar pull-apart bread bookmarked for the first morning Adam and I have together when he gets back from Cali. Just so others can enjoy the ridiculously awesome recipes:

About Me
- Me
- I started training for my last triathlon last year because my New Year's goal was to "step outside my comfort zone," and I figured, what's more outside my comfort zone than a triathlon? I was a compentent swimmer, in that, I wouldn't drown under normal circumstances, hadn't biked since I was ten, and while I had run cross country in high school, even then, I was one of the slowest runners on the team. Well, in finishing my first triathlon, I discovered not only a new hobby/addiction, but a lot about myself. What follows are my ramblings about what I've found.
