I Ate That. I Hate Me.
For the better part of my life I have engaged in a sad and ridiculous cycle with food. The cycle can be best summed up as: I Ate That. I Hate Me. As a stressed out adult, I welcomed alcohol into the mix as well, which turned an over-indulgent night at Mexican with margaritas into a morning […]
Truth. Fear. Compassion.
Well, it happened. I started working on a new book. Wait! Before any of you get too excited (or not excited at all)… it’s a three-year project. So, I have been slowly working on it, and realizing it’s a long process, but I was feeling good about it. During talking about the new one, I had a conversation with […]
When Feeling Bad May Be Good
The Expert and I were watching the Olympics last night–the 48kg women’s weightlifting event to be exact. (Backstory: he and I are both former Olympic-style weightlifters. Neither of us made it as far as the Olympic stage… but did enjoy some “success” at the international level in the sport.) I always love watching this particular body […]
Ironman Lake Placid 2016: A Report of Sorts
The funny thing about racing an Ironman (and part of why it’s such a major decision to even sign up for crazy event) is that generally you have pay for most of the things up front–never mind race registration, but many of the other things too. Some hotels are non-cancel-able, etc. So when you decide to not race […]
Climbing Over Fear
I struggle with fear–a lot. I have always been a worrywart. And I passed it on to our son. We nicknamed our son “Captain Careful” for the same reason–and he comes by it very honestly. He’s uber cautious and a rule follower, just like I am. But I am also a vicious nail biter. Worries? Hands […]
There’s Nothing to “Unsee” Here
Recently, a Playboy model named Dani Mathers sparked a huge backlash after body shaming a naked woman in the gym showers at LA Fitness last week, by sending a picture of the naked woman out on Snapchat, and saying, “If I can’t unsee this, then you can’t either!” Here’s the thing. I could give a […]
Triathlon is Hard. That’s Why I Like It.
This weekend was a victory – a victory of a long-time coming sort. As I round the corner, quickly approaching the six-year anniversary of my crazy ass decision to “become a triathlete,” it’s true that I have been (publicly) wondering whether or not I even want to swim, bike and run anymore. I have been implementing the discipline versus motivation […]
‘Merica: The 2016 Peachtree Road Race
*Note: This post was written before the recent events in Dallas. On July 4th each year, Atlanta is the home to the world’s largest 10k race – the Peachtree Road Race. This was my third year running it, and in true ‘Merica form, the whole red, white and blue event did not disappoint. (Here are the […]
