Learning to Love Yourself with Dr. Kelly Brogan
I have noticed what mean people we can be–to ourselves. We treat strangers better than we treat ourselves. We speak kinder to our “frenemies” than we do to our reflections. Of course, we are all a work in progress and life is just hard sometimes. We are struggling to fix our brokenness, to move forward, […]
Ready to Start Owning It? This Post is for YOU.
Today I have a guest post from someone who I admire tremendously, and who really knows her stuff—between the ears. She’s a peak performance mindset coach (she’s on the way to being my new Tony. 🙂 ) And how much of what we do in life (and triathlon) is about our mental state!? (Um, the […]

“It’s All Gonna Be Alright.”
Kathy reached out to me in an email, and we chatted a little. Her story really resonated with me, and I wanted to share with you all. Thank you, Kathy for your inspiration to #JustKeepMovingForward …no matter what. “I had been a runner on and off since my early twenties, but when I married and […]
No Dream Too Big: An Interview with John Young
I “sat down” with John Young (“the Hammer”) to get the scoop on what inspires him to “just keep moving forward” …all the way to Boston this year …and on to 140.6. His story is the epitome of crushing through barriers to acheive a dream. John is a 49 year-old LP (little person) who started competing in […]
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 […]
Where There’s a Wheel, There’s a Way
I have been exceptionally guilty of saying two horrible words during my triathlon journey. Two little words that are teeny… but mean so much. Determine the outcome before the start. Put the brakes on before the wheels even turn. I. Can’t. Recently, I have had the privelege of working with Brent Pease at All3Sports. I […]
A Guest Post: Injuries Stink
Long time SBM Army member and huge Andy Potts fan, Monica, shared her recent frustrations with injury. As many of you know, I’ve had my fair share of injuries, including a broken metarsal, sprained ankle, twisted ankle, broken ribs from a bike crash and other assorted curses at the Silver Comet trail, broken ass (sorry, […]
It Keeps You Running – A Coach T-Bone Post
So I am officially coming down off the high from the Andy Potts weekend. Wait, no I’m not. Anyway, time to get back to focusing and working. I’m thinking all about “Inertia” and “What Will I Learn Today” (#wwapd -What Would Andy Potts Do). Coach T-Bone contributed this great post on running form to […]
