A couple of nights ago I was talking to a dear friend about where life has us right now. It was a great little discussion as it always is and my friend said something that has stuck with me ever since. “you know when I met you, all you did was your job. You had [...]
The Process of Running
I’ve been running for a few years now. I’m not the fastest or the best at it, but I know how to do it and not hate it. I talk to so many people who want to like even the thought of running. Any time I have a conversation about what I’m doing with triathlons, [...]

Whether these are dating relationships and just good friendships, there are times where the bumpy road comes [...]
Pace Yourself
Since I returned home from Uganda, I’ve been trying to get back into the swing of my work out schedule. Sunday , Wednesday and Friday swim practices…running on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and somewhere in there throw in a couple of bike rides. It’s a bit overwhelming when you try to throw in the rest [...]
Transparency….
It’s something I’m not that great at. Meaning, when it comes to people really knowing me, I only let out so much of me before I start becoming to transparent. Therefore, only a few very select people in my life really know everything about me and what my struggles are or even when I’m having [...]
Life and Running
Most of you know I’m a runner. I’m not the best or the fastest, but I am a runner and I love it. For the first time in life, I have found a hobby that truly takes me somewhere. Not just physically, but mentally. I get major benefits from running. The obvious ones are physical…lose [...]
