Remember to Celebrate

For many of us, our season is over. This past weekend marked my last official race of the season and it left me feeling a little sad.

Goals for August 2015

Well that was a month that certainly did not go as planned… July was amazing but it was a little bit different on the training front that I expected. There was a moment where I was fighting back tears on the examination table where my coach said to me “Endurance sports are character building –… Read More…

Momentum Monday: Back to Regular Training!

Well, the spring race rush has officially past and I am headed into a bit more of a stable training schedule complete with sleeping properly, eating vegetables and pounding out intervals.

Gooood morning! I hope you all had a fantastic long weekend and a wonderful Easter. I purposefully did not plan much because of the crazy March that I had and used it as a giant reset button. I did ALL the sleeping this weekend and it was wonderful. Saturday night, I logged a solid 12… Read More…
