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 […]
