What Happens After Ownership?
Last night, I was honored to attend and be a part of the Another Mother Runner book party in Atlanta. The Mother Runners, Dimity and Sarah, have launched their third amazing effort, Tales from Another Mother Runner, and I had the privilege of contributing an essay to the book. My essay was about ownership. Ownership? Yep. That’s […]

Tuesday Thoughts
When I was training for my first Ironman in 2013, I would religiously track the weather the days leading up to the long ride on the weekends. “Oh no, it’s going to rain, guess I’m on the trainer for 4 hours. Six hours.” I would set up my trainer. Get Netflix ready. Lube up the […]
Why We Tri
100 Days. Well, 99 days until Ironman Lake Placid. (But who’s counting. I started this post yesterday). I remember how I felt 100 days before my first Ironman in 2013. Unsure of what I was doing (even though I had a coach). Unsure of why I was doing it (the Expert had lost his job, I wasn’t […]
All THE Things….
It’s really hard to manage All The Things and get them all “right.” It’s easy to get wires crossed and intentions twisted up and all messy. I usually do a “decent” job, but every once in a while I am reminded of how very (very) mortal and untimely and clumsy I can be. At the […]
Sometimes You’re a Princess…
The giveaway in this post is sponsored content. … And sometimes you’re a Viking Warrior Princess. Wha??? Last week the Expert and I managed a one-night getaway to the mountains of North Georgia. I booked a massage and was feeling long overdue for some relaxation. The tiniest, sweetest little lady came out into the spa and […]
Taking the High Road…
I’ll never forget the words of the managing partner of a firm where I worked as a baby attorney… “You must always take the high road. Even when opposing counsel digs deep and comes up with mud—you should always, always take the high road.” Well, I didn’t feel like taking the high road today in my […]
When “Suck It Up, Buttercup” Falls Short
One of SBM’s long-time friends and readers sent me this amazing piece. She originally contacted me with this question: “I’m wondering if you would possibly entertain a blog post about mental health issues and triathlon. MANY folks use triathlon as a release, or a way to deal with stress… but there’s a small, quiet […]
Why a Watch Changed Everything
…okay, maybe not everything. So, yes. I made the ridiculous investment in the new Garmin 920xt (with HR monitor) two weeks ago. And man, oh man… I was wondering what the fuss was about. But I am in total love with it. But it’s not just this watch, really. (Okay, maybe it is…) But I have been […]
