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 […]
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 […]
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.

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.

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. […]
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. So let’s dive right in 😏 What prompted me […]
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. Today, I am sharing the good news with all of my readers: I have been selected as an Ambassador for Run Like A Girl Adventures, Inc (you can check them out online […]
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 had a half marathon on the horizon, which ended up turning into two half marathons as I wanted to set a personal best for myself and motivate my group for their […]
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 […]
