It’s 3am

Here’s a random picture…. it’s Curt, my nephew Cameron and I sledding on Christmas Day. Luc is to the right of Curt, but I am not so great at the self portrait!It’s 3am and I am mustering the guts to go run on the treadmill before I leave for the airport. It is 16 degrees [...]

Camp HTFU

In two days I will be on an airplane leaving all of this snow behind. Destination: South Carolina. Agenda: Camp HTFU. Purpose: HTFU. Harden the fuck up… for those of you not in the know . It’s not a phrase I came up with. I believe this originated from Coach Paulo Sousa, who passed it [...]

National Eating Disorder Awareness Week

It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. A few people I told that to sighed and shook their heads. “Everything has an awareness week now!” they cried. It does not offend me at all. I realize the lack of understanding there is about eating disorders whether is be anorexia, bulimia, and even overeating. There is so [...]

My Very Own Confession

I confess. I am addicted. Completley addicted. To LOST. It began in the beginning of January when I got the iPod Classic. I had 80 G of memory, more than the enitre military and now the capacity to watch TV on my iPod!I hadn’t watched TV in ages. During my Ironman Florida taper I started [...]

Cold with a Capital C!

It’s all in your attitude … I told myself as I started my car this morning at 5am. Home is where the heart is…. it’s all about attitude…. I start my car for about 15 minutes before I leave in the morning. So if you are looking to steal a SUV, come on over to [...]

Home Is Where The Heart Is

My Father always told me that I should be able to live in a cardboard box and be just as happy as I would be if I were living in a mansion. Later on I did understand that. Happiness is a choice. And things are truly what you make of them. It’s funny these life [...]

The Meaning of HTFU

What does this elusive four letter acronym mean? It’s very simple. One day at band camp……. in between my training for IMLP and IMFL last season, I mentioned to Coach T (Trevor Syversen for those who are not in the know….) that I was tired. Go figure. Someone had told him once, and it was [...]

Hot Fun

I never thought about it when I designed my HTFU suit. Not even once. I laughed out loud when Marit wrote of what happened to her. And then it happened to me.“What does HTFU mean?” An older woman asked me at the YMCA last week. She looked so sweet, she had the cap with raised [...]

Chosing to Live

On Valentine’s Day I will be speaking at the State University of New York at Geneseo, as I do each year. 7pm. Topic….. eating disorders. Specifically…. mine.“Do you ever get tired talking about it?” My husband asked me. Tonight I did. He’s never actually heard the whole story, and it might be better for him [...]

Going Just Fine

I’m not sure how, but my athletes and I began to create rapper names, sometime this … or maybe last year. We’ve got Ja Boon, The Wev, Amy-Mo, K-Dub, I have had a few and my most recent is M-Squared. Ja Boon and M-Squared met at the YMCA this morning for a swim. The YMCA [...]
