How You Can Become ‘Top 5’ (Or Better) at Everything
As my client and I were finishing up her session I asked her about the upcoming triathlon workouts she’d be starting with her team, for next springs’ youth triathlon season. She ages up this year, meaning she’s now the youngest in the next age bracket up. And in case you were unaware, the youth triathlon […]
Food Relationships | Are You “Emo” About your Food?
April 18, 2012
Remember being ga-ga for some boy or girl in your youth who you’d literally go to the ends of the Earth for…in a kind of unhealthy, young & stupid/sweet kind of way? Surely most of us have had that relationship that made us lose our damn minds for the person in those initial ‘shiny new […]
Priorities: How did you come up with yours?
January 11, 2012
I once attended a business seminar & came away remembering this line more than anything else…”A person is motivated by 1 of 2 things – what are they going to get or how can they prevent getting hurt.” The part that really stayed with me was this next line the speaker said; from whatever standpoint […]
If you’re going to write a book, at least pick up the dang pen.

I’ve got a theory. And it may ruffle your feathers. If it does, all I can say is, “if the shoe fits…” I get the blessing of working with folks who want something better for their life – whether in sport, in daily life, or in both. And while sometimes they get a little off-track, […]
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
August 11, 2011
The day will not always go as planned. The weather will not be always be perfect on race day. You will not get a great nights’ sleep. You’ll fall off the healthy-nutrition wagon. The triathlon will change to a duathlon (30 mins before race start…as happened to one of my athletes in a previous year). […]
Making Decisions about your Life
June 20, 2011
I *adore* people who stand in line for 5+ mins waiting to get to the counter to order, then proceed to ‘ummmm wellllll’ there way into an indecisive order. You know these people, every.single.decision they have to make gets an “ummm” & a long stare at the menu board before the decision is offered up. […]
Defining new heights by pushing through discomfort|Triathletes’ Camp
March 30, 2011
Just because something sounds hard, doesn’t mean that it’s going to be. Really, what is “hard” anyways – everyone has their own definition of hard; some peoples’ ‘hard’ is something that is just outside their comfort zone. Other peoples’ hard really isn’t hard at all, it’s just unknown to them and so seems hard. But ‘hard’ […]
If you don’t commit, it’s not legit.

New word for you: SACBE. Now stay with me & you’ll see where we’re going… This is the word for the “White Roads’ of the ancient Maya world. They were roads coated with limestone stucco, going from Maya cities inland on the Yucatan Peninsula all the way to the coast; all white so that travelers on these […]
Being better than “good enough”
November 11, 2010
One of the things that bothers me the most is watching people fail to “bring it” with all of the intensity they can muster. They stop short. They cut their progress off at the knees. They fail to live up to their potential. I’m not saying you have to be “on” and all engines firing towards […]
It’s time for Urbanathalon Training! – Run Report
September 26, 2010
I’ve grown to love running without my ipod. It brings me back to when I trained for & ran the Chicago Marathon, and the only way to listen to portable music was to haul around one of those belts that held your cd player. For 20+ miles? No thank you! Sure an ipod is nice for […]
