Hard bodies and hard truths

Not only do I have a sister who’s a personal trainer and a brother-in-law who bikes across entire states— I also live with a husband who runs gazillions of miles a week,  whose family business is fitness.  Life can be SO unfair.  I definitely never signed up for this one.

I’m going to back-pedal a little bit.   Not as far back as this shot of Carla, Paul and me in New York in our twenties…but before Aspen, before Paul rode his bike across Iowa— back a few years ago to another vacation that was just the 3 of us. First of all, to me the meaning of a vacation is that […]
