RIP: The Gift of “Running in Public”

I had a great talk with Josh Mathe yesterday for the podcast.  He’s the author of the new book, I, Athlete: How to unleash your inner athlete and supercharge your life! —-which talks about all the great things that we can do to help ourselves, well, unleash our inner athlete. I loved talking with Josh, and I’ll be […]

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. […]

Living Life YOUR Way

Yesterday, I had an incredible podcast interview (should air this week) with Lauren Handel Zander, author of the new book, “Maybe It’s You: Cut the Crap. Face Your Fears. Love Your Life.”  This episode will air shortly – but listener warning – and READER warning – do NOT read this book if you don’t want […]

Career Death: A Love Story

I recently left the legal profession.  Note: I was not removed from the legal profession. Point of clarification there, people.  #notdisbarred I remain (and plan to remain) a licensed attorney.  You know, just so I can whip out a demand letter at a moment’s notice, remind people that truth is an absolute defense to defamation (cuz […]

Moving Towards a Mess

Someone once looked at my life, my habits and my food—and their reaction was:  I don’t think I can help you. I hadn’t thought about that statement at the time, really. Because for so long, I sort of felt like I was unreachable, unworthy, un-help-able… I sort of glossed over the idea that someone else agreed with […]

It’s Good to Be a Bear

So I wrote an article a while back in Triathlete about when to know if you should say “no” to that race on the calendar.  Decisions, decisions. As I was thinking about Chattanooga 70.3 (coming up in three weeks), I began to wonder what in the world I was doing with planning to race that. […]

EVERYTHING New on Race Day – St. Anthony’s Triathlon Race Report 2017

A friend of a friend asked me a few months ago, “Do you have any interest in racing St. Anthony’s Triathlon?” It was late February, I think, and I really did not have any interest in driving to Florida, doing an Olympic, in the heat, especially before Chattanooga 70.3. BUT. I started thinking. I loved that race. […]

I Live Here. This is MY Home.

I went to an amazing talk given by Elizabeth Gilbert last night. You all may know her from the book, Eat Pray Love  (or the MOVIE with Julia Roberts by the same name—where she leaves her life to find herself in Rome, Bali and India [I think those are the countries]).  She sold 10 million copies of that book, by […]
