Most marriages don’t survive a triumvirate, but ours does.

Meet Lefty, B’s new love interest, the third wheel, if you will, in our impenetrable marriage.

According to B, she has a good-looking front-end and a nice and sturdy back-end, with a reliable suspension for when the terrain is rocky and the ride is rough. 

I don’t mind the time he spends with her. They have a good time together and despite their mutually abusive relationship, they get along just fine.

As of yet I am not worried about this new acquisition. As long as he doesn’t take her out to dinner, I’m just fine with her.

This past weekend B took to a small patch of wilderness here in Miami and TORE IT UP!

He muscled through a triathlon that involved mountain biking, swimming and running. You know, it is awesome to accomplish such a physical feat as we near our, GULP!, 40s. Everybody talks about how 40 is the new 30, whatever that means, but, it was just great to watch him cross the line, tired but triumphant.

For all of you who think you are too injured, too uninspired, or too tired to cross the finish line — well, take a look at B. Not only did he cross it, he OWNED it!

Congratulations to all the 40 somethings (and beyond) who rise to the challenge. If you are interested in finding out more about endurance races, check out this local organizer.

See you there!
