The Attitude of Gratitude

“If I had one wish…. I think I’d pass. I can’t think of anything I need.” The bags are packed, the tickets are printed and very soon we will be at the beach. Panama City Beach to be exact, the home of hotels upon hotels and beaches upon beaches. Yes my friends it is time [...]

The Potentials

People keep asking me if I am nervous. Which is then making me nervous because I am not. Should I be nervous? Maybe I should. I can’t think of anything to be nervous about. I can however find a lot to be excited about. The first being getting my silver bracelet on Wednesday. Running into [...]

Across the Other Pond….

While all eyes were in the Hawaii Ironman last week, my friend, my associate coach and athlete Erika was over in India. She was representing the United States in the Military World Championships. Olympic distance ITU style racing here. She came out of the water in the lead pack and remained in that lead until [...]

Saturday Show -N- Tell

If you saw this little creature on the course at Long Course Duathlon World’s last weekend… that was Luc! You don’t often get to see the Grimm Reaper with a walker at a race! By the way if you heard him BOOO you he was trying to scare you… we changed BOO to ROAR as [...]

So with my head in the sand here is what I learned this week…..Sami overcame Bulimia. Turned really [...]

Blog – O – Rama

When my friend Jen read that I was filling the void of training time here in taperland with Days of Our Lives. She was horrified. “Read some good blogs” she wrote me. I begged her for some. So she obliged and I spent the better part of the day reading through some terrific reads. Now [...]

Hmmm….. Not Here Yet

I am certain the Ironman is going to call me. Check on me, or at least taunt me. Nope. He’s nowhere to be seen. Hasn’t called. Hasn’t emailed. Hasn’t in any way said hello. I hope he hasn’t forgotten about me after our little rendezvous back in July. It’s like the Ironman is about to [...]

The Goal

I have been asked this week how I am doing… by everyone. Like I have some sort of disease. They ask with a worried look. “How are you doing Mary?” they say “Is there anything I can do?” Did someone steal my teddy bear or something? Did someone die and no one is telling me? [...]
