Proving myself wrong
If you have been following me for a while (or know me in person), you know that I am an endurance athlete. Or that I was an endurance athlete. I have 6 marathons under my belt, a few half Ironman races and countless halves, 10ks & 5ks. Running used to be a way of life…

Goals
In the old days of my original blog and fitness journal, the post title “Goals” would have most likely been linked to a big event — a marathon, half ironman, bicycle trek across California. After I found fitness (and lost some weight) in my mid-twenties, I became fitness-obsessed. And as I got stronger and stronger,…
