The Definition of Insanity
What’s the definition of insanity? “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein For me, insanity is standing still, in one place, knowing that I am not doing what is best for me; knowing that while others are apparently thriving, that I am standing still; knowing that I am […]
RIP: The Gift of “Running in Public”
I had a great talk with Josh Mathe yesterday for the podcast. He’s the author of the new book, I, Athlete: How to unleash your inner athlete and supercharge your life! —-which talks about all the great things that we can do to help ourselves, well, unleash our inner athlete. I loved talking with Josh, and I’ll be […]
Keep Building.
Tony Robbins said in a recent podcast (I am paraphrasing) that in order for someone to be the tallest building on the block–there are two ways to achieve this end: 1.

You know, just so I can whip out a demand letter at a moment’s notice, remind people that truth is an absolute defense to defamation (cuz […]
Moving Towards a Mess
Someone once looked at my life, my habits and my food—and their reaction was: I don’t think I can help you. I hadn’t thought about that statement at the time, really. Because for so long, I sort of felt like I was unreachable, unworthy, un-help-able… I sort of glossed over the idea that someone else agreed with […]

So I wrote an article a while back in Triathlete about when to know if you should say “no” to that race on the calendar. Decisions, decisions. As I was thinking about Chattanooga 70.3 (coming up in three weeks), I began to wonder what in the world I was doing with planning to race that. […]
EVERYTHING New on Race Day – St. Anthony’s Triathlon Race Report 2017
A friend of a friend asked me a few months ago, “Do you have any interest in racing St. Anthony’s Triathlon?” It was late February, I think, and I really did not have any interest in driving to Florida, doing an Olympic, in the heat, especially before Chattanooga 70.3. BUT. I started thinking. I loved that race. […]
