Book,TV Show, Movie and/or Song of the Month: nothing jumped out at me…
Shame-Inducing Guilty Pleasure: Allowing the pup to sleep in bed with us. We are powerless to his charms!
Indulgence of the Month: Spa day for the bike! Got her back just like new.

Triumph of the Month: Completing my first half iron tri!

Current Excitement: Watching Miles grow and learn is new and exciting every single day. He has officially doubled in weight since we brought him home 2 months ago!
Current Goal: To place in the top 3 relay teams at Huronia Olympic Tri this weekend. I’m swimming and biking, then hubs is taking care of the run!
How was your month?
Can you believe it’s JULY?















Great month! Damn…the hubs was supposed to race Huronia this weekend but is passing in order to focus on the race in Toronto on July 22.
Hope you rock it!
Another impressive month and congrats again on your first half iron.
Great month Marlene.
Bella sleeps in her cradle with the door closed in our bedroom but at the weekend or on a day off I usually wake up sometime around 6 am and then open the doors and she can sleep on our bed for a while.
Good luck this weekend! I’m sure you and the Hubs will crush it. Hope the elbow heals up quickly!
Good luck in the tri! Hope you and mark so well! Great month of June!
Great month. Your pup really is growning like crazy. I would have trouble staying strong against those eyes too.
Great month for you (except for the elbow injury). Good luck with the relay this weekend, sounds like fun! I’m sure you’ll both do great!
I am going to miss you at the rebecca run this weekend!
I’m sad to be missing Rebecca Run! I’ve run that race every year since 2008. Good luck!!
Hilarious that you used a hashtag in your blog post. I can’t stop laughing. Hashtags are popping up everywhere now.
As a matter of fact I am using them in sentences when I want to aggravate Karen.
Great month and great things ahead.
miules is holding the wrong flag for the fourth of july. look at that i didn’t even have to add a u to fourth.
So you folks know how to spell some words correctly… bahahhaha
Aw, such a cute holiday shout-out from the pup!
It’s crazy how fast dogs grow!
My poor bike could use an “indulgence” spa day…the plan is to drop her off while we’re on vacay, to get some TLC.
oh my gosh you are doing so much!! i am so glad even with a spill you are loving every second of it! I think that’s so important with such a big goal!
Great June!!! And no worries, my dog sleeps in bed as well.
Great month, girlie girl!! Keep being strong…and get that dang elbow healed quickly so you can get back out there and kick some more butt!!
June was an amazing month marlene! When you put how many hours of fitness you accomplished I’m truly amazed at how you can fit it all in. You rock!
