How to do more without feeling overwhelmed.

No brakes? No breaks 🥴 Looking back at last blog post all that comes to mind is “Oh, how the mighty has fallen!” I went from a buzz saw of energy and focus, to racking up one sweat filled strength training session last week. Yes, I have learned the art of celebrating small wins, but woooooo this week was a […]

Start 2024 on the right foot! No brakes!

Happy New Year 🎉 You had the opportunity to read my 23 Growth Points in 2023 For many, 2024 began with fireworks, champagne and Junkanoo (I definitely enjoyed #1 and #2 at midnight). Despite my grogginess, I managed to get moving with a late morning run and create content for my personal and business IB and Facebook pages. Warm temps […]

Twenty-Three Growth Points in 2023: My Year of Reflection.

My final blog post in 2023 is a labor of love. For the first time ever, I sat and crafted this message over a period of time. What to say, how to draft, where to draft – all God inspired and God directed. As I prepare to place 2023 in my box of memories, I am reminded of these twenty-three […]

From Resolutions to Results: Making Fitness Goals NOW!

Full disclosure: I approach New Year’s Resolutions the way The Grinch approached Christmas. Don’t get me wrong. I am not goals adverse or even lists adverse. However, I do believe that if you are passionate about your life goals, the only right time to take action is right now. I gave this speech content at a recent Toastmasters club meeting […]

The Power Of One: A Positive Perspective on Fitness

This weekend, the number One reigned supreme in my personal life as I celebrated a relationship milestone. That milestone proved to be the basis of reflection for today’s blog post. When we think of the number One, we think about solitude. Being quiet or lonely. We may even equate sadness with this number. From a running or fitness perspective, how […]

Looking In The Mirror & Introducing Me to Me.

It has been over a year since I picked up my iPad to blog. I usually blog on Sunday afternoons. Something happened. For the second time in two days, fellow Toastmasters raved how much they loved my website and how I inspired them. I immediately felt like an imposter. I considered letting my domain go at the end of December. […]

From strength to not-as-strong: How to overcome fitness loss.

We are officially in the summer season. Many of us went into the start of the year on fire. We set those fitness goals and were relentless in checking the boxes. I know I was relentless. I started the year off with a half marathon PR and clocking 5K times never seen before. My momentum all came crashing down when […]

How to switch gears and run for a worthy cause.

In the Bahamas, we have a saying – it’s not a runners-specific saying, but we use it often as a deciding factor on whether or not we should support a fun run walk or race: “We like tings.” Runners love swag. The more swag, the easier it is to convince us to support your event. I’m guilty of it too. […]

The one thing running cannot cure: How to stay focused after losing a loved one.

Tuesday March 29th 2022. I remember waking up feeling so energized. I told myself this would be the day I would nail my 5K PR. The weather was unusually cool and I felt like I was flying through the streets of Nassau. That day I ran a personal best 23:18 5K time. Three hours later I received the worst phone […]

Running with Covid-19: How to relate, recoup & recover.

All the feels from Chicago Marathon (best race ever!!)

It is official. I am a Chicago Marathon finisher 🎉 18 weeks of sweat, grit and pain condensed in just over 5 hours. I remember as I ran through the 29 neighborhoods in Chicago thinking of seemingly fast time was in motion. When I first scrolled through my training plan back in early June and seeing those long runs later […]

Chicago Marathon Series: Countdown to my first World Majors

Two weeks from today, I will be running through the streets of Chicago. I can barely contain my excitement, my nerves, my butterflies. I know that when I write my next blog post from my hotel room just outside of Grant Park, I will be writing from a new perspective. For now though, I will not get ahead of myself. […]

Chicago Marathon Series: You don’t know when you didn’t know.

I am back after taking an impromptu break for the month of August from blog writing. Last month started off with a long holiday weekend and I thought to myself “I’ll write it on Monday” Well, there have been several Mondays and many milestones which have occurred since that thought. I honestly could not have imagined all of the amazing […]

Train Big: Surpassing the fear of long distance running.

I have a confession: I always get butterflies in my stomach when the month of May rolls around. They are mainly good butterflies though. The kind that stems from the anticipation of one of the most grueling seasons on the year is on the horizon: marathon training season. The beginning of May is the time that I use to focus […]

Stomping out limiting beliefs in the sport of running.

“I could never run an entire marathon!” “I cannot run a mile without stopping or getting winded.” “I am not a runner. I am not a REAL runner.” “I need to get in shape before I can start running.” How may of us have uttered one or more of these statements? How many of us believe that running is good […]
