Currently.

Man, oh man. I am SO far behind on blog posts. Life has been a bit of a whirlwind and the week that I said "see you later" to Lloyd was basically a week where I ate my feelings and cried. I pulled myself together, and while I'm still sad, I've been refocusing on the...

Lloyd.

Lloyd.

If you have been reading this blog for any amount of time, then you more than likely know about Lloyd. Lloyd Doggler to be exact. Lloyd and I found each other in the summer of 2001. I was 21 and he was approximately a year old (so mentally we were about the same age)....

Thoughts on the Coaching Certification Courses I Took

I started this official coaching journey back in January of 2016. I began working with my dear friend Judy, who graciously allowed me to use her as a guinea pig. Fortunately, it went great and I didn't break her. It helps that she's supremely coachable and a great...

March 2017 Stats/Recap

I think I forgot to do this last month? This poor blog has been uber neglected, but as I mentioned before, I'm not getting rid of it! March went by so quickly and I really enjoyed my month (after the marathon) of being "off plan." I probably enjoyed it a little too...

Myrtle Beach Marathon Race Report

Myrtle Beach Marathon Race Report

I did it! I ran marathon number nine and have the hobble to prove it! In my last post I was letting you all that I didn't have a great training cycle. Which, while it wasn't perfect, it wasn't exactly chopped liver either. I had five solid weeks and one 20 miler. I...

Training to Date for Myrtle Beach Marathon

Training to Date for Myrtle Beach Marathon

In the spirit of transparency oversharing, I'd like to tell you all what I've been up to while training for Myrtle Beach Marathon. I was in a "should-I-race-this mode?" as I feel that my training has been spotty, to say the least. And it's 100% no one else's fault but...

The Return of the Blog

I realize the last time I wrote an update here was February 2020. Yikes. I was all guns blazing heading into my bikini competition prep. But, we all know what happened the very next month. The C word: Covid. I tried so hard to stick with the training. Truly. I worked...
