Training is for Chumps- Next Time I’ll Be a Chump

It is always fun to try new things and this time was no different. The Lake Freebird Sprint Triathlon in Mtn. Grove, Missouri was a blast. I was a little nervous about giving it a shot but less so than I have been in other events. This was mainly because I had no idea what to expect. Guess that is one good thing about not ... More

Dumb? Yep……

Run. Run. Run. That is all “WE” do. How about changing it up and trying something new? This was a simple question that the CLUB discussed on many of the 216 laps around the track during last months Big/Dumb stunt. A valid and interesting question. The answer? A small triathlon. 600 meter swim, 14 mile bike ride and a ... More

A Night to Remember

There are times on a run that I want to quit, just give up, go home and call it a day. But I don't. I don't give up and quit because I know that the only way to achieve the impossible is through perseverance, hard work and dedication. This is not a secret, many people understand this. I was fortunate enough to see, in ... More

Running in Circles for 54 Miles

This video was a lot of fun for me to make. Probably not near as much fun for you to watch. It has a little bit of everything from running with friends, a REALLY good looking dude in a pink tutu, a lap around the track at 4 a.m. and a WHOLE lot of WOOOOO!!!!!'s. Oh, did I mention a cartwheel? More

In Their Own Words – The Ride

Time to try something new. In case you haven't figured it out yet- I LOVE ME SOME ME. True story. I also love to hear about OTHER people pushing themselves beyond what they think is possible. It motivates and inspires me to hear about their journey and celebrate in their success. I hope to make this a regular part of the ... More

Together We Can Make A Difference

Cancer......it sucks. I guess this is something we all know but, for me, it has only been within the last 6 months that the realization of just how BAD IT SUCKS has set in. Of course I have always known that this disease is a monster but it was in a “scary movie” and not “real” sort of way. I now understand ... More

My Next Big/Dumb Stunt

Here we go again...... I know it has only been a month and a half, and I said that I wouldn't, but I'm going to ask for your support again. It does get weird when you beg friends, so I want to throw out this caveat before I start. I UNDERSTAND if you do not participate and appreciate the fact that you took the time to even ... More

Lovin’ Life

My 7 year old "All- Star", swimming, running and having a blast at the beach. He threw in just a little smack talk at the end...and I dig it. More

How To Run – The Secret Revealed

No Garmin, fancy shoes, shorty shorts, hydration pack or heart rate monitor. Just running in it's purest form. Take notes- stop for breaks and jump over obstacles. More

Dauphin Island run- Sunday 5/23

Invisible miles. That is what I like to call them. Woke up at 5 a.m., grabbed some coffee and took a walk down the beach. After 30 minutes I realized that this was the perfect time to slip out and explore- 10 miles and 1 hour 13 minutes worth of exploring later, I was back before breakfast. No need to "steal" time away ... More
