Hill bounding yestersay morning was…. interesting. I took each hill in about 1:25, 10 seconds slower than summertime, 5 seconds faster than a year ago. 1:25 in February on snow and ice I will take with a smile. I was suprised I could even do them at all, there was a good amount of slipping and [...]

Is anything more exciting than the Olympics? For 2 weeks it’s a time when we are united as a world in my opinion. Together we hold our breath, we jump with the jumpers, we squeeze the stick with the players, we hold every breath until each triple axel is landed. We see one breath of [...]

I received the sweetest… literally sweetest bouquet for Valentine’s Day. Long stemmed Peep hearts! Even came with a bite taken out of it! I am constantly reminded on a daily basis of how blessed I am in life and in love. I recovered enough to enjoy Valentine’s Day with my boys. I don’t care if it’s [...]

About 2 weeks ago I nearly screamed at early o’clock on the morning when I opened my laptop to the blue screen of death! EEKS! My entire business, life, everything is on my laptop! And….. shame on me….. it was only about 80% backed up. I’m very lucky to have a desk top and a [...]

Surprisingly, many athletes don’t want to spend a whole lot on the one thing that could be the most beneficial to their training. [...]

As we are just a little over 10 weeks out from Texas 70.3, the next 2 weeks of training reflect it. Delving into some tempo work, hill bounding, and it’s time…. it’s time to step up my swimming. I may have gotten a bit too comfortable in the confines of base training. But I am really [...]

When I went to see the Wizard in January, we cycled through a lot of testing. The most important thing we determined is the type of athlete that I am. There are three categories of athletes: Aerobic, Neutral, and Anaerobic. You determine which category you fall into by assessing your lactate threshold heart rate your max heart [...]

I am rooting for the N’Orleans Saints this evening. And not just because I coach a bunch of gals in that area. I had the oppertunity to go and race in NOLA in 2009, learn about the hurricane, stayed in the French Quarter and see first hand the amazing people that live in this city. Talk about perseverance. Talk about [...]

This is a debate? Really? lot of people have been asking me what I think about this cover of Sports Illustrated, because apparently there is controversy: I thought I was looking at the wrong cover, because I can’t seem to find anything about this picture to even debate about.
