Losing Sight of Shore (and a GIVEAWAY!)
Podcast Episode Sponsored by Saris #Ad FTC Disclosure Four women set out to row across the Pacific Ocean, from America to Australia. As they rowed over 8,000 miles during their nine months at sea, they overcame extreme mental and physical challenges to make history. (Um. Let me say that again…. they ROWED from San Francisco… […]
Meredith, a Marathon, and a GIVEAWAY: Week 2 of 17
Week 2 of the official marathon training is sort of in the books (I still have a short run tomorrow.) I am doing my best to update everyone at least once a week on the training and more since this is truly a big effort on everyone’s part, especially with the fundraising. For those of […]
Meredith, a Marathon, and Logan: Week 1 of 17

Two Things that Change Most Everything
Nights like this, I remember with great clarity why I was a drinker. I can’t sleep. I’m on a bad streak. This isn’t anything new for me. It’s a recurring theme, and I would almost bet $100 if I texted my momma, she would be awake too. We are weird like that. One of my […]
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.

Toxic Thoughts, Toxic People

I know, for me, when I decided to become a triathlete, it was because the pain of not doing something powerful and weird and […]
A Change of Plans? Think Again.
I had a conversation with my coach last week that went something like this: Me: I am going to take a breather from triathlon racing this season. Maybe I’ll do Augusta, but as of now, I am not sure. The fire in my belly for racing is just not there. I didn’t feel it spectating at […]
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. […]
