While taking an evening walk with my two-year-old twins, Dakota and Montana, I happened upon the Latin Quarter.
Our family spent the summer in Europe, and we enjoyed every arrondissement tremendously.
Walking in the Latin Quarter at night with a double baby jogger, however, was not the best idea ever. I made it about 20 meters and then got the HE** outta there.

While our family was in France this summer, we had planned to go to the Jardin d’Acclimation, our fave park in Paris, one afternoon.
But something didn’t feel right. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I knew we shouldn’t go.
Instead, it felt right to stay in our “hood” and walk the streets near Notre Dame. Hang out in those little parks and get gelato, then go to the Latin Quarter and check out La Plage, a “beach” in the city along the Seine created by the mayor.

Temperatures are rising, the kids are off at camp, your first race is behind you and family vacations lie ahead. Between life’s general chaos and your intense training schedule, you’re strapped for time and really don’t want to do anything! So, how can you push through the slump of summer? Read more →

Dear Amy,
I’ve done a few triathlons close to home, but this summer I will be flying across the country for my first “destination” event. Do you have any tips for competing on less-than-familiar soil?
Amy:
Race season is upon us, which means traveling to races near and far. Since becoming a triathlete in 2002, I have had the opportunity to travel all over the world for races.
Here are a few tips that I have picked up over the years of being a world traveler.
