3 inspiring audiobook recommendations for runners
I really hit the audiobook list hard last week (see my training journal) and finished three separate books (along with several podcasts). I was able to draw inspiration and food for thought from all three books as I train for running longer distances. Definitely happy to add these to my book list. One key I’ve […]
First ultra of 2018 – This week in beef, running and travel
This week provided a few different challenges for running goals. On one hand, my travel was extended due to a snow storm and I had meetings all day that interrupted my training plans. On the other, I signed up for a 50k run in Moab with relatively little training. Both could pose very real challenges […]
3 thoughts on communication and advocacy to avoid being fake news
We live in a world of constant communication. Each day there are numerous outlets where we can consume new information about the world. Google, Twitter, Facebook, television, radio, audiobooks, podcasts, emailed newsletters. The list could go on for days. But this also leads to the perpetuation of misinformation. Fake News as President Trump has coined […]
Motivation is Overrated – This week in beef, running, and travel
Certainly a busy week! Where do I start? My second week of travel would offer more challenges and more flights. Short winter days keep me running on the treadmill as I try to fit runs in before morning and all-day meetings. Three different time zones on multiple occasions. My internal clock is a little messed […]
Rethink The Ranch – Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner.
For 25 years, beef has been what’s for dinner. Most people recognize that phrase and acquaint it with early television ads. But things in the food world have changed and we’re keeping pace with the world. And now, we’re working to show you how that is done. We’re at odd cross-hairs in the food and […]
You Can’t Drown – this week in beef, running, and travel
You can’t reach your goals if you don’t get started. And two weeks in, I am sticking with it, even with challenges of work meetings and travel. Running was a bit of a challenge with icy roads for a few days, but a treadmill and audiobooks saved the day. Vision without action is merely a […]
Leadership Principles We Should Have Learned As Kids
Do you ever make a trip back home, then find yourself reminiscing on the lessons you learned as a kid? I was lucky enough to have both parents working together on the ranch where my brothers and I could jump off the bus every afternoon and go to work with them. For me, looking back […]
Did you already drop your resolutions?
One week of 2018 down. 51 more to go! Have you stuck with your New Year resolutions? Probably a good thing I set goals instead. This week has been filled with running, catching up on emails and it only took me 2.5 days before I had my first presentation and training workshop for the year. […]
Running Gear for Cold Winter Running
Are you cold yet? 2018 walked right in with a cold arctic chill, dropping many states well below zero. And runners have been wrapping up. Growing up in Arkansas, I hardly knew what real cold was, but a move to Montana quickly taught me how to dress for running in colder weather. Now, I absolutely […]
Let your running goals take shape
Each new year, we set resolutions for a “new you” to be a better person, more fit and reach new heights. Truth is, most people will fall short of those goals within 7 to 14 days. Another truth is, if we want these goals to stick, there is no magic day. Goals become habits with […]
