After hearing so many rave reviews about David Goggins’ book, Can’t Hurt Me, I purchased and read (well, actually listened to), his book. While finishing up the book in January, I happened to hear about Colin O’Brady’s newly published book, The Impossible First. I found his story about suffering severe burns in his legs and […]

October 11 My self pity party lasted TOO LONG! I was so upset about my injury. I kept thinking that people just didn’t understand how frustrating it was to not be able to do my big races this year. Someone should have slapped me upside the head and tell me to GET OVER MYSELF. I […]

  I am a RELUCTANT RUNNER. When I first started running, it was a means to an end. My martial arts instructor suggested I run to prep for my black belt test. I ran occasionally – for maybe about 1-2 miles at a time. It was several years before I decided to train and race […]

  I  hit a milestone last Thursday. I had my 2 week post op appointment where they removed my bulky splint and replaced it with my pretty pink cast.   I had been holding off on strenuous exercise to allow my incision to heal without risk of infection. It was SO great to get started […]

    THANKS TO YOU ALL for allowing me to have my little pity party the other day. For me it’s a necessary step in the process when I get some not-so-great news.   My scaphoid fracture may have stopped me from doing my races this season but it hasn’t stopped me from exercise. Since […]

It was bittersweet volunteering at the last Ironman Raleigh 70.3 race 2 weeks ago. In its inaugural year in 2013, it introduced me to long course triathlon. Little did I know I would be hooked from year one. In 2013, I created a 3 person relay team where I did the swim leg of the race. In […]

2017 was a rough year for me! Somehow despite it all, I managed to squeeze in a few races. I started off  the year with knee pain and made several trips to the Orthopedist to dry to determine the issue. I was finally diagnosed with arthritis (thanks to my ACL surgery from 2001). I was cleared to […]

What are little boys made of? What are little boys made of? Snips and snails And puppy-dogs’ tails That’s what little boys are made of What are little girls made of? What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice And everything nice That’s what little girls are made of My dear dad …  he […]
