I have a confession to make…

Well it’s been a hot minute, hasn’t it? Y’all, thank you for sticking with me. Not long after my last post I was dealt some more nasty news on the athletic front. I’ve been battling hip pain for several years now, and with my insurance coverage about to go *poof* when the divorce was finalized, … Continue reading I have a confession to make…

Thank you, Triathlon

November 13, 2018November 13, 20184 Comments

I’m not a big New Years Resolution fan. Instead, I like to choose a word of the year. A mantra, if you will. This year I chose the word “Do.” Because I am business minded but also have a creative mind, I tend to have a lot of ideas and half starts to things but … Continue reading Thank you, Triathlon

A couple weeks ago I made a big decision. I decided to unfollow the Tone it Up Instagram account. And my DMs immediately blew up. If you’re not familiar- Tone it Up is a women’s fitness company started by two amazing women named Karena Dawn and Katrina Scott. They’ve built a fitness empire through free … Continue reading Why I Unfollowed Tone it Up

Stop The Clot!

August 23, 2017July 10, 2017Leave a comment

This week I wanted to cover something a little more serious and very important for athletes to know: Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolisms, commonly known as blood clots. Fellow Betty teammate Jess Lehman has battled DVT and PE for four years and has become an advocate for the Stop the Clot initiative run by … Continue reading Stop The Clot!

I Thought I Knew About Nutrition…

August 9, 2017July 10, 2017Leave a comment

I like to think I have the basic tenants of nutrition down. Calories in vs. calories out, carbohydrates are bad for weight loss but good for performance, eat whole foods instead of processed, limit your sugar intake. Then I read ROAR by Stacy Sims, and my world was rocked. ROAR is a female-specific food and … Continue reading I Thought I Knew About Nutrition…

Gear on the Cheap

July 26, 2017July 10, 2017Leave a comment

One of the biggest barriers to entry in the sport of triathlon is the cost. Between wetsuits, bikes, new shoes, and a kit, the price to do your first race can easily top $1,000. Please don't spend $1,000 on your first triathlon. Here are a few ideas to help you cut the cost and make … Continue reading Gear on the Cheap

Hello Anxious Friends! As the lazy days of summer are upon us, I'm finding my days are not so lazy and a bit overpacked with work and life and all the things. So a quick programming note to all of you- I will be reducing the frequency of posts from one a week to every … Continue reading A Quick Update

Sitting One Out

June 28, 2017June 26, 2017Leave a comment

Today was supposed to be a recap post about racing the San Diego International triathlon. Instead, let’s talk about when it’s time to sit one out. On Friday I was setting up my mat to do some YouTube yoga when I heard a snap from my knee. Instantly I felt a searing pain, pain which … Continue reading Sitting One Out
