My life and business purpose has always been crystal clear… …be a force for good… …be the light for others… …when I feel helpless, help someone… I could go on and on here, but these really sum it up. I know many of you are feeling fear, uncertainty, disappointment, and so much more. I’ve been […]

It’s been a long, and I mean LONG, time since I’ve written a blog, or race recap that hasn’t just gone directly to my coach…but I am ALWAYS asked for details on my race…so I’m bringing it back 🙂 Pre-Race: I have always wanted to race IM Cozumel…BUT, my life choices (and by that, I […]
The 2019 race season is right around the corner, and your “A” races will be here before you know it! Nutrition…what we eat everyday, how we fuel our bodies during training & racing, and what we re-fuel with for recovery are KEY to your success…and in my opinion, the missing piece in many athlete’s race […]

This week is all about bikes, gratitude, self care, and butternut squash…makes perfect sense, right? 😉 In my world…the answer to that is…YES! Wondering how they all fit in together? Then keep on reading 🙂 1. Healthy Gifting Options Nobody ever said bikes, or anything to do with bikes, are cheap…BUT, we spend a lot […]

Happy “Week Of” Thanksgiving! This is easily one of my fav pics from Thanksgiving “past” <3 With the holidays fast approaching, I’m going to do a bit of a “series” on a few topics that are top of mind for most of us (so I continue to hear!). I’m often asked for my favorite products […]
I spent my weekend down in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, watching my first ever “Bama” football game in person (ROLL TIDE!). It was a TON of fun, and quite cold…even for the South. Clearly, the weather is changing all over…and for those of us who love, and I mean LOVE being warm, it takes some time to […]
One of my fellow Zoot teammates posted a blog in February (which was Eating Disorder Awareness Month) about her battle with an eating disorder. She rocks. Her name is Ashley, and you can find her here…https://sandborntorun.wordpress.com/page/2/ Reading through her story inspired me to share mine. Why you might ask? Why not? It’s part of me, […]
A few weeks ago, I had the chance to talk with a group of athletes at Edge Athlete Lounge about Diaphragmatic Breathing. You might be wondering how this even came about?? Well, I met with one of the owners, Robyn LaLonde, to discuss a topic for me to come by and do an educational talk […]
You guessed it (or maybe not)…coaching. I’ve known for a long time that I want to coach triathlon, running, and strength. Why you might ask?? I could go on for hours about why, the list is LONG. I’m going to try and make this short and sweet… I love the feeling of being fit and […]
It sure has been awhile since I’ve had a minute to update my blog. I have really good intentions to write race recaps, talk about training…ya know, all that fun stuff. The problem is, racing and training kind of get in the way of me having time to blog. Ha! Sooo, instead of going back […]
I don’t even know where to begin with this post. I apologize in advance for how long it may be… When I found out last year that Duathlon Worlds would be in Spain, I was all about it. Had to be there. I’ve always wanted to go to Europe, especially Spain, so this seemed like […]
I’ve been on all sides of Ironman…spectator, volunteer, 2 time athlete/finisher, and now 3 time girlfriend/Sherpa. Over the past 6 months I’ve been at 4 different Ironman events ALL over the world. I’m beyond lucky, I love that this is my life…love doesn’t even come close to describe what I’m trying to say. Each Ironman […]
Do you ever have people ask why you do Ironman, triathlons, or just train in general? Even better…how about the funny looks you get when someone asks what you’re doing over the weekend? Then there’s the 4am wake ups during the week to train before work…and then workouts after work. Oh, and you PAID how […]
For those of you who are not familiar with the law of attraction, allow me to explain. It’s actually quite simple…like attracts like, focusing on positive or negative thoughts will result in the same outcome… you get the point. This is something I firmly believe in. When I say that, I don’t mean if you […]
Love me some Dolvett Quince. If you don’t watch the Biggest Loser you will have NO idea what I’m talking about it. Google him, thank me later. If you live in the Midwest, specifically Chicago, you know we are dealing with a beast of a winter. It’s no joke. I can honestly say I ran […]
I’m not into New Year’s Resolutions, I think they are great for some people, just not for me. If I decide I want to do something I just do it, doesn’t matter what day it is or time of the year. To be real honest about it…once I make my mind up about something it’s […]
Duathlon Nationals was the end of my 2013 racing season, I was SO ready for some time off! Coach Jen and I decided that I would take off the month of November from training and get back into it in December. The past 2 years I’ve taken longer than that, but I don’t feel the […]
My original race plan for 2013 was to end my season with Ironman Wisconsin in early September. After I did the Galena Duathlon in May, I received an email from USAT letting me know of my qualification for Duathlon Nationals, which was going to be held in the end of October in Tucson, Arizona. At […]
I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii…I mean who doesn’t, for real? In all honestly, I thought that might be where I would get married, or maybe go to for my honeymoon. There is still time for that, but I found an even better reason to go there NOW… Let’s go back a few months. […]
If you want the short version, here it is. Simply put I had an AMAZING day…AMAZING! That doesn’t mean everything went “right” or “how I planned” or even “how I wanted” but it does mean that I managed several little setbacks well enough to finish way beyond my expectations. Many people have told me that […]
