Meet Sparkle.Pounce.

Who are the ladies behind the name.... Sparkle.Pounce.? 

As many of you have known from the beginning, or figured out from our Facebook pictures, or from reading our blog, Sparkle.Pounce. is a group of five ladies. We all met through our local triathlon club and became good friends while training for various races together. 

Very quickly we found that the amount of fun we have while we're together is kind of obnoxious. (See linked video to get a taste for just what I'm talking about!) Whether we're going for a 10 mile run through the woods, or taking a road trip to the beach, you can bet that we're having a good time. 

And, as it turns out, we do actually have many things in common as it relates to endurance events (we're all Ironman finishers, 50K runners, marathoners, 5K runners, slow on some days, fast on others, always have a goal of just finishing kind of girls!). But, we're all very much our own individual person. 



Instead of giving you a run down of our stats, we thought we'd each answer two questions for you:

1. Name something that is on your Bucket List.
2. If you could fill a pinata with anything, what would it be?

Kendra:

1. I want to write and publish a book of short stories about my life, and I’m hoping that one of them will be about how I qualified for the Boston marathon! (If I don't get any faster, I will qualify when I'm 50!)
2. Race stickers. Lots and lots of race stickers so I can accessorize my laptop, notebooks, car, everything!

Leigh Ann:

1. Go on an African Safari with my hubs and qualify for Boston.
2. $100 dollar bills. Duh.

Lori:

1. Back pack through Australia, walk the Champs-Elysees, and be a bride!
2. Pixie dust, unicorns, and all things magical.

Sarah:

1. To finish as first overall female at the Anchor Bay Triathlon.
2. Seriously!?!?!? I have a huge sweet tooth, so I believe that a pinata should be full of all kinds of candy from Sour Patch Kids to Sweet Tarts and everything in between!!!

Stephanie: 

1. Ice climb a frozen waterfall and watch the sunrise from the top of a mountain while drinking coffee.
2. Easy- glitter, marshmallows, and sassafrass kindling.


Over the last year, Sparkle.Pounce. went from being a crazy idea we came up with while on a road trip to Vermont, to being a reality! It took some time to figure things out, but it was worth the struggles. We're so happy to be offering products and sharing stories that are motivating and inspiring you to Do What You Dream!  

And to answer that one question I've heard a million times...Stephanie is the artist behind our awesome designs! They start with her, get bounced off of us, then end back in her hands.

For all of you that contact us through the Etsy site, it's me (Kendra) or Stephanie you're talking to. The blogging is left for whoever is feeling inspired to share their story, and Facebook is generally Stephanie and I as well. But...you never know, it could be any one of us :)

We hope you feel a little more connected to who we are!

Sparkle.Pounce.
