I am Determined… Not Driven
When I started training for Ironman Louisville in early 2009, many people asked me why I was going to try such a seemingly impossible race. The answer… I’m just determined to finish. Sure, I love the sport of triathlon and I love the community that surrounds the sport. My friends I train with are all [...]
Being Fit vs. Being Healthy
Ahhh…in the midst of family, work, travel, friends and training for triathlons-life at times can seem just a hair out of balance or slightly crazy. I’d like to think of it as slightly crazy. But whatever you call it, there is always a need for true balance in life and to make sure the things [...]
So You Wanna Run?

Ironman Louisville 2009 – Today’s The Day!

Mind Over Matter – LIVESTRONG
Over the past several weeks I’ve been training for Ironman Louisville 2009 and one thing is for certain. The mental aspect to this event is just as important as the physical aspect. In fact… the more I think about the strength of the mind, the more I realize how much our minds and how we [...]
