Thankful Thursday

The countdown to my first ever 5K race as the director is under way. It's been a long week and quite frankly, I'm starting to wonder if the race directors for marathons and big triathlons ever actually sleep. I've been so busy from the time my alarm goes off in the...

Wordless Wednesday

Due to my 5K race planning, that has taken over my life, I didn't put on my sweet new shirt and photograph it for WW. However, this LADY did and I'd say her kids look way cuter in them than I would.  Head over there and tell her to KICK SOME IM ASS!

A Day In the Life

I haven't done one of these "Day in the Life" posts in a while and I figured Saturday would be a good day since I was jam packed with "stuff" all day long. I mean, I could do one where I just lie on my couch for ten hours but I doubt you'd enjoy photos of my...

I totally stole this format from Steve, but I don't think he cares so long as I mention poop. There you go Steve. Thanks for the idea!  Lately, a few blogger buddies have been using the term "like a boss" to describe things I do and I thought it'd be awesome to...

Thankful Thursday

Yep. I have been experiencing blogger fail lately. I keep being reminded of Aron's post about "if you don't have anything nice to say," because quite frankly I've been pretty down in the dumps lately and don't have a lot of nice things to say at the moment. I hate not...

If you all haven't noticed, I really haven't been posting a lot lately. Quite frankly, I haven't had a whole lot to talk about. I guess you could say I'm dealing with the old blogger writer's block. That and I don't want to write 18 posts about my hamstring injury...

Hills are for Heroes

After having taken a little hiatus from riding I figured it was time to get back on the saddle last week. As it turns out my hamstring seems to bother me the most while I swim. As a high school swim sprinter, I have a huge kick so that makes sense. I decided moving...

Monster Bash Dash 5K Race Report

I had signed up for this race a while back thinking I'd be ok to run by the time it rolled around, however, Hampton is still hanging around so I was definitely debating whether or not I'd head over to Orlando for this 5K called the Monster Bash Dash.  After...

Grandma’s Marathon 2026 Race Recap

It’s been 84 years since I’ve written on this website. Since more than five of you said on my social media that you would read a race recap, here we go. I will attempt brevity but I have SO much to say. Grab a beverage and settle in. PRE RACE Way back in January I saw...

2023: A Look Back

It's almost the new year, and I keep hearing people say how the year flew by. Well friends, this year did not fly by for me. I think I would have preferred that. For me, it was a year of rebuilding my fitness. It was a year of new challenges and learning to work with...

Top Ten Things That Have Helped My Mental Health During Injury

As some of you may know, I am an ambassador for Still I Run. Ironically enough, I got the news I was accepted to be an ambassador about a week before I hurt my back. The irony being that Still I Run is a cause that supports running to help with mental health, plus a...

Happy New Year!…and How to Work on Your Lower Back Pain

Happy New Year! I promised to write more, mostly to myself cause who the heck still reads this, and so here I am! I'm just shy of six weeks out from my initial back injury. I'm not sure if I call it an injury or lumbar disc disease? Either way it sucks. Here's what...

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...
