Who is the First Woman to Travel Every Country?

Since finishing my trip to every country and claiming title of ‘first woman to travel every country’, many women...

Running or weight training, @aloyoga is my go-to 🐆. P.S. What’s the temperature where you live right now? It was 59F in LA today 🥶❄️

It’s been a year of tattoos! And two weeks ago I got my brows tattood for the first time, in a procedure known as microblading. I was nervous, but trusted in @ruthswissapermanentmakeup - she has hundreds of nearly 5 star reviews and out of all the research I did, she seemed to be THE BEST for microblading in LA. Ruth is a medical aesthetician certified in medical micropigmentation, and works extensively with surgeons as a Cedars-Sinai Medical Group Network Provider. Her office was in a big medical building and she had an impressive 19 licenses, awards and certifications up on the wall 👩🏼‍🎓. She spends much of her time helping female burn victims through scar removal and does such great work in helping women who are breast cancer survivors ♥️. Ruth was so incredible to work with and she made me feel super safe and comfortable during the procedure. I’m going back in 6 weeks for a touch up and am so much looking forward to it! HIGHLY recommended for those who are seeking microblading. Such a subtle but remarkable difference 💃🏽! Keep an eye out for the video in my stories of it all 🎥!

It’s the start of a new week! But I’m still reminiscing on the past one with @mrkishmere in Boulder 🌲! Sorry for the spam pics with Kish, I know most of the world doesn’t like cats, which is sad because they, like humans and dogs, have hearts and brains and personalities, too.
It was so epic to be back in Boulder again, training there is always inspiring. Also, for any cat parents wondering, the Embassy Suites and Four Seasons are both known for allowing kitties. Remember when I brought Kish to Scottsdale? Those are now my two go-to hotels when I travel with Kish (which is whenever I travel now). Thanks @embassyboulder for hosting us! 🐱💆🏼‍♀️

Patience and fortitude conquer all things. 💡
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Been easing back into running since my hip injury last April, but I couldn’t resist running in the snow when I saw it for the first time this season 🙈🏃🏼‍♀️!
It’s been a long and steady uphill climb; craving my PR sessions while also forcing myself to hold back so I can properly get back into the swing of things. It’s been almost exactly a year since Ironman Florida and definitely nostalgic being back at Rally Sport and training in Boulder, I’ve missed it! ❄️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve learned a lot about my body over the course of the past 15 years training for triathlons. Sometimes, you just have to trust your gut and go at your own pace - no one knows your body and recovery process more than yourself. There have been some pretty low lows since that last 70.3 in Oman, but I’m confident in what 2020 will hold when it comes to my physical and mental success and fortitude 💥. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In life, I’ve always achieved what I’ve set my mind to, and pretty much immediately at that, as opposed to waiting, going through 5 years of university, long-term jobs and planning for the future. Once I hit 30, it was a milestone in realizing that I could possibly have another 30 years in me (who really knows - I was shocked I made it this far without dying of all the millions of things we could die of 🤷🏼‍♀️). So, I’m realizing the importance in steadily devoting myself to the physical stamina of my body and perseverance of my career 👩🏼‍💻. Thank you all for sticking with me throughout this ride! ♥️

Watching the snowfall from the floor to ceiling windows at the @embassyboulder ❄️🌲

Why do I love living on the West Coast? Well, I live in year-round warmth, just 10 minutes from the beach, 2 hour drive from the desert, 3 hour drive to 14,000ft mountains and skiing, and a 1.5 hour flight to snow (and 60 degrees) in October. I’m so so happy that I could spend the first major snow days in Boulder with my papiseed @mrkishmere at the four-legged-friendly (and elegant) @embassyboulder ❄️ #HappyNationalCatDay 😽
