big, Big, BIG NEWS!!!!

Ok, so I've been wanting to post this news since I learned about this opportunity, but I didn't want to jinx anything... but finally, here it is!

So, one of my very good childhood friends, Robin has started a new business and asked me to be a part of it, as the 'cooking expert'!!  The business is Athlete's Addiction and their main focus is sport specific athletic training, health and fitness. The website launched this weekend and you should check it out!! With this new opportunity, I am going to be taking a course in becoming a Certified Fitness Nutrition Specialist.  This will allow me to adapt my recipes into nutrition programs that will be offered thru Athlete's Addiction.  To say the least, I AM SO EXCITED!!!  Take a look at my first entry: http://athletesaddiction.com/sweet-potato-energy-burst-breakfast/ 

So, I was very proud to wear my Athlete's Addiction shirt during my competition in the South Charlotte Ramblin' Rose Triathlon! It's a sprint triathlon meaning you swim 200m, bike 8 miles and run 2. This was my second Ramblin Rose. The first one, I finished in 1hr 9min. This one I finished in 1hr 3min. I guess my training paid off, I was 10lbs lighter and 6 minutes faster! Next time though, I have got to do it in under an hour! So, yes there will be a next time. I'm trying to find maybe a longer triathlon to push myself even further. Any suggestions are welcomed and I would love to have a buddy to do the tri with!!  I've thought about doing a half marathon, but I truly hate running. Splitting it up with swimming and biking seems like a better plan, at least in my head it does.

Anyhow, that's all for now...back to training, gardening, recipes and nutrition.  Hopefully, more great news in the near future!

Until then....life is about the journey, not the destination!
