The Business of Moving (On)
So I haz some big news. Tomorrow, I am three years sober. I wrote about this for the first time at day 82 of my sobriety–and it really changed everything for me. Sharing. Telling. Standing in the light. That’s not the big news. But it is also big news too. I have told the story […]

2018 Ironman Augusta 70.3 Race Report – The Swim Bike Mom Version
