Workout Roundup: February 17th
I have decided to start sharing what I am working each week. I generally lift about 4 days a week and run 1 to 2. Or zero days. Ha! It just depends on the week and what I’m training for. This week was one of those weeks… I consider my workout weeks to start on […]
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!)
“Super Trouper lights are gonna find me …” Yes, I’m a music geek. (and it doesn’t help that I played in the pit of “Mamma Mia!” earlier this year) But when I think of a Spartan Super, that’s what pops in my brain first. What can I say? But onto the race … Last weekend, […]
#yougotthis
Do you ever psych yourself out? I just might have. As I’m prepping for my first Spartan Super, I started reading race recaps about this particular course. And now I’m scared. 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 […]
My latest challenge
I discovered a new world. The world of obstacle course racing. It’s my latest “thing.” Which is good because I was itching for a change. See, I need goals to work towards. To motivate me. To inspire me to do the things. As disciplined as I might seem on the outside, the reality is that […]
“Goals transform a random walk into a chase…”
I am motivated by goals. It’s what gets me going. Gets me to do the things. And coffee. That also helps. LOL. 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? […]
Spartan Race Reflection
I tried something new this past weekend. I completed my first obstacle course race. Of the Spartan variety. I know. Very exciting. It was a Stadion version of their Sprint distance at the Nationals Stadium in DC. Super cool. 3 miles and 20 obstacles (or 21-22 depending on who you ask!), lots of stair climbing and behind-the-scenes […]
