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.

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.

Vision without action is merely a … Continue reading You Can’t Drown – this week in beef, running, and travel

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.

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 … Continue reading Let your running goals take shape

How do I fuel my runs?
Over on my Facebook page, a friend asked about my strategy for fueling on my runs. While I don’t have it down to a science, I have found what works for me while running. Asking for fueling advice is like asking for recommendations on the best vehicle, the best travel credit card, or the best trails … Continue reading How do I fuel my runs?
My first ultramarathon distance
Growth occurs when we push ourselves in many facets of life or work and I've been successful in doing that for the past few years. Facebook has a way of bringing things around with its On This Day feature and today it reminded me of previous milestones in my running career. Bring on the ultramarathon! In 2015, I … Continue reading My first ultramarathon distance
Stop prioritizing your schedule and start scheduling your priorities
It’s not that difficult to find an article these days about how Millennials work differently. We have a different sense of work-life balance, therefore, older generations may label us as lazy, unproductive, or distracted. Please, stop talking about us like we’re a disease.
