Start with why

What if these were your pre race instructions: “You are the one responsible for entering this race, you better be prepared for the course itself. The rocks will have no mercy. I have seen this course rip apart many a “good trail runner.” Mountain Mist is trail running in its finest form. No one is [...]

Team day

“I can’t believe I get to do this.” I said to my husband at dinner last evening. “I can’t believe it.” He knew I meant it. I can’t believe I get to do this. He reminded me that I work very hard at it, that it’s been my life’s passion. It is. Being a triathlon coach is [...]

Whew. I am not going to lie, I am tired this week. The Wizard takes me zero to sixty, we get right to work. I am not complaining, but this morning I have a small case of the drag-ass. The good thing…. it’s Sunday and aside from a Kids in the Kitchen event over at [...]
