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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
After two years of being under the radar, Covid 19 caught up with me two weeks into 2022. Since I tested positive for Covid last week, I have been getting tons of questions ranging from how I felt at the onset to how do I gauge returning back to the road.

Hello, 2022! This year has certainly gotten off to a whirlwind start on a number of levels which I cannot wait to dive into in the coming weeks.

January 2nd 2021 my health and fitness goals comprised of completing my 21 day Daniel Fast in an effort to regain control of eating habits and overall health.

I remember over a year ago as I mulled over whether or not I should pursue a run coaching certification, I came across this quote: To teach someone, you don’t have to know everything. You just need to know more than the person who asks for the information. I must admit that I used that quote as a crutch for […]
How I am finding success in my off season. In my last blog post, I shared some of my non-running related goals that I have been focused on post-Chicago Marathon. To be honest, that focus has been working well for me. I got in two hours of studying for my Marathon Running Coach Certification exam before setting in to start […]
It has been three weeks since I towed the starting line in Grant Park at Chicago Marathon. I have to admit that I can close my eyes and it feels like it just happened yesterday. In my previous blog post, I spoke about what it was like to enjoy the moment and not seek that next big race or be […]
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. […]
