Who we are and how we met –
I spend my time living the suburban mom life: never leaving my car, while keeping my four kids, husband, and two cats in line! I also work-time at our local library and enjoy domestic pursuits such as needlepoint, baking, and flower arranging (seriously)!
I met Bev many years ago when a friend convinced me to go to a 6:15 am Spin class that Bev taught (Yes, that’s a thing! And yes, she still teaches it!) Afterwards we got to know each other while spending time with a group of friends swimming/cycling/running and having coffee or drinks (my favorite part!) Bev is a phenomenal cyclist, so I was pretty intimidated to ride with her😳 But I realized that she can be very laid back, and lots of fun! In addition to sharing a love of activities like open water swims and skiing, we realized that we have the same quirky sense of humor. And we’re both Scorpios😀 – Annette
I am a mom of 2 teenagers. I have been a personal trainer for about 17 years and teaching fitness classes for over 20 years (yikes)! My passion for fitness and fun led me to compete in numerous local cycling, running and triathlons over the past 25 years. I hope to continue with that if these old bones allow me to!
So I originally met Annette at one of my spin classes. Then she showed up at a group swim in the pool one Saturday morning. It was nice to finally have a “chick” join the bunch. Well, she brought a workout for us to do and totally kicked my butt! I had just been doing boring laps before! She taught me all the swimming lingo and how to use all the intimidating swim equipment that I had never used. We all went for coffee after (which is the absolute best part of my workouts) and we hit it off! Since then we’ve gone on lots of adventures doing open water swims, skiing, cycling, running and of course themed dinner parties. So fun having a workout friend who is also a mom who understands how hard it can be sometimes to balance everything. She’s also totally fun and over 50! Ha ha! – Bev
