Intention

Thank you so very much to all of you who emailed me over the last few days about the “My Choice” entry. If you didn’t see it, it was a bit about my eating disorder and the 13 year recovery I am blessed to call my own. It never ceases to amaze me just how [...]

My Choice

I am extremely excited to announce my participation in an event that I fully believe in, that will be happening here in Rochester this coming February. I was recently invited to speak at a Symposium that will be held at the University of Rochester, as part of a traveling exhibit highlighting Eating Disorders. It is [...]

My Victory Lap

Please forgive me in advance…. I am going to take a victory lap. Because tonight I opened up my bike box, which was sealed on November 4th as I rolled it onto an airplane after Ironman Florida. A day that held many great things for me. My fourth Ironman. My first sub elven finish. My [...]

Between The Black Lines

The swimming questions keep coming! Thanks so much for writing in, keep at it and I will keep throwing back the best answers that I can! Keep in mind that all of this is my big opinion. I have swum forever and it’s my first love. I have had terrific coaches and they taught me [...]

Booked

I am not sure what I have gotten myself into. Last week I received an email from Jen Harrison… it was an invitation, and it was intriguing. An invitation to a weekend of training. In North Carolina. So far so good. Then I read the list of characters…. no one whom I knew, but I [...]

Take The Plunge

It’s a common belief (and of course I’d support it…) that swimmers make the best triathletes. In my experience it is much easier to teach a swimmer how to run, than a runner how to swim. . Now I know plenty of amazing runners who became awesome swimmers, and I know plenty of good swimmers [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

And so it begins… the most wonderful time of the year…. at least in my book. A time when we gather as families with those we see a lot, and those we don’t’ see quite so much. A time when we share Turkey and Pumpkin Pie and watch the parade on TV. The eyes of [...]

The Dream Team

If you know me and Kelly B., you know we are great friends. I call it more like a sisterhood that began way back in 2002… the last time I ever beat Kelly B in a race. We had just done Ironman Lake Placid 2002 and I bombed it, she nailed it and qualified for [...]

The Fork In My Road

Something terrible has happened. And I never expected it to. I may have fallen back in love with being a nurse.As you know I am a pediatric emergency nurse … very… very… part time. Not too long ago I had set out to change careers. In January of 2009 I would quit the nursing profession [...]
