What a week it has been! I needed to do a bit of self-care this week and spent most of the time walking and hiking and being outdoors. I went to the gym twice to lift. Who knows what will happen in the next few days! So far, the gyms in Virginia remain open, but […]

Spartan Beast WV Race Report (first TRIFECTA!)
I have been meaning to write this Race Report for a bit now. But you know, LIFE. LOL. Actually, it’s the weekend of the Spartan Beast in Killington, VT which is supposed to be one of the hardest, if not THE hardest Beast on the East Coast. So, AROOO!!! Go, Spartans! So, thoughts on this […]
TBT: 10 year ago … Ironman Race Report 2009
I have been doing a bit of reflecting recently and realized it will be 10 years ago, this weekend, that I completed my very first Ironman. So I thought I would re-post my Ironman race report from my July 2009 in Lake Placid, NY. It seems like a lifetime ago. Quite literally. My journey in […]
Spartan Super Palmerton Race Recap (with obstacles galore!)

Yeah, this is an Iron(wo)man talking. (10 years ago to the month!) But I’m still scared. Because you read stuff like… “…brutal one-mile climb […]

But all joking aside, goals are what inspire me. “Setting goals is the first step to turning the invisible into the visible.” ~Tony Robbins And I’ve done a lot of that. Practicing the piano? […]
