Happy Sunday! Hope you had safe and fun St. Patrick's Day celebrations, if you chose to celebrate yesterday. I ran a local 5K (just for fun, not for speed) with some former colleagues ... it was a fun start to the morning and there were TONS of people dressed in...
Happy Workout Wednesday! Many of you commented on my positive attitude after my last marathon didn't go as I had hoped. Honestly, I think refocusing on the positive aspects of all races is one of the most important keys to racing sustainably for a long period of...
Can you even believe that it’s the second day of March?!? March is my favorite month of the year (or maybe a tie with December!)... it's the beginning of Spring, 3 of the 4 kids in my family have our birthdays (as do Kevin and my brother-in-law!), I love St. Patrick's...

It's Motivation Monday! If all goes according to plan, I should be landing from Brazil a few hours after this is posted. If you have actually received 4 posts from me in the time I've been gone, I probably deserve some kind of medal. This technology-fearing blog...
