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 […]
Moving the energy
It has been a challenging past few weeks for me. It’s something I have been able to compartmentalize pretty well. But the recent focus in the political news has really gotten to me on a very deep level. All for reasons I am fully aware of and have done lots of healing work around, but […]
My topsy-turvy world
It has been nearly a month since I last wrote a blog post. Which is very unlike me. Well, when I am not out of the country. LOL! Since we moved 3 weeks ago, I have been trying to find some resemblance of a routine. Because I like routine. I feel comfortable with routine. I operate best […]
30 days of awesome stuff…
So, it’s May. How on earth did that happen? April went by in the blink of an eye. Even though it was a FULL month for us Rosenbergs. 30 very full days. Let’s see. We started off with Easter Sunday in NJ. Saw the house we would ultimately buy on Monday. Found out we got […]
The search is finally over…
As we were unpacking wedding gifts a few months ago, surrounded by boxes and little storage space, I said to Michael “We need a bigger place.” He nodded his head in agreement. And thus the seed was planted. Of course, we always knew we were not going to stay in our 2 bedroom condo for […]
