2018 Ironman Augusta 70.3 Race Report – The Swim Bike Mom Version
Last year when I crossed the finish line at Ironman 70.3 Augusta (2017), I would have bet high and good money that it would be my last Augusta. I had said the same thing in 2016. #whoops I literally said to the Expert: “NEVER again!” (both years). And the only real reason? I was just […]
On Respect with Melissa Hartwig
So I’m interviewing Melissa Hartwig for the podcast in two weeks. That’s a pretty cool thing. [*Update: it happened! Here’s the interview!] (For anyone doesn’t know, she is a founder of Whole30, a four-time New York Times bestselling author (It Starts With Food, The Whole30, Food Freedom Forever, and The Whole30 Cookbook) and someone who really started my journey towards whole food […]
What’s Your Sport, Girl?
Validation comes from inside. Trust me, I know that.
The Sucky Rotation Schedule & The Suck Line
It’s baaaack! I’m talking about this puppy again! A few years ago received an email from a reader, and it went something like this: I am racing my first 70.3 in a few months. I do most of my workouts when my family is asleep — this translates to 4:30am mornings. Even still, the long […]
Meredith: The Fat Shamer
Before I get into the visit I took into Crazy Town yesterday, I have to mention this. I don’t know if I wrote about the awesome fact that I killed 20 mile training run last week. TWENTY MILES, people. And yes, I am TOTALLY bragging about it OPENLY because if y’all know me… this is a huge […]
What is YOUR Art?
What is YOUR art? Do you know what it is… but you aren’t doing it? Do you know what your art is, but are afraid to share it? Back in 2011, I took a trip to San Diego where I spent some time with my favorite ladies, including Susan Wintersteen of Savvy Giving by Design […]
My First Marathon
One of my long-standing jokes is the fact that I am a four-time IRONMAN finisher, but a ZERO time stand-alone marathon finisher. In other words, I have done four marathons—but only after swimming 2.4 miles and biking 112 first. Silly as can be, I know. I decided that 2018 would be the year that I […]
The Definition of Insanity
What’s the definition of insanity? “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein For me, insanity is standing still, in one place, knowing that I am not doing what is best for me; knowing that while others are apparently thriving, that I am standing still; knowing that I am […]
Keep Building.
Tony Robbins said in a recent podcast (I am paraphrasing) that in order for someone to be the tallest building on the block–there are two ways to achieve this end: 1. You can work hard and build the tallest building, brick by brick OR steel by steel–which takes incredible effort, time, money and energy. OR 2. […]
