Surviving the Mall
Posted on December 13, 2010
SUGAR: I took Friday off from work to finish my holiday shopping. Woke up feeling energized and ready to tackle the mall. I strategically planned which stores to hit first, how many times I’d have to go back my car, and believe it or not, what I planned on eating during the day. I had […]
If Only We Didn’t Need to Sleep
Posted on December 2, 2010
Whether your goal is going back to school, taking up a technical skill, or taking on a challenging new career, there will be times when you may be faced with periods of extreme stress. Times when you may wonder how on earth you will manage to accomplish every single thing you need to accomplish in […]
In My Dreams I Am a Kenyan
Posted on December 2, 2010
My friend and I enjoyed the Talking Turkey road race last Saturday – 6 miles around the reservoir – a location so lovely, forgiving and familiar I count it among my best friends. I’ve run that course a hundred times and was excited to post a personal best that day – even with the crazy wind […]
What’s Your Marathon?
Posted on November 10, 2010
We all have different goals that we are striving to achieve. It doesn’t matter how long it takes you to get to the finish line. What matters is that you take steps to cross the starting line. Once you cross the starting line, keep moving pacing yourself always with your eyes on your goal. Someone […]
After Action Report – Marine Corps Marathon:

26.2 miles and a Beer Shot It’s over. The MCM was October 31…and yesterday I was happy to watch part of the ING New York Marathon from the comfort of my home, and like so many others I was thrilled to watch Chilean miner Edison Pena cross the finish line. For those of you who […]
Candy Stupor
Posted on October 26, 2010
SPICE: Ok, so it’s almost Halloween. And how long have those miniature candy bags been taunting us in the grocery store and pharmacies? At least a year, right? I walk into a store and the smell of little packaged chocolate hits my nose. I immediately go into a candy stupor, just like when I was […]
Finding Your Passion
Posted on October 12, 2010
In January 2009, I watched my youngest son graduate from college. As I waited patiently for his name to be called, I watched the procession of older students receive their degrees one after the other. Funny…I thought…they are the same age or even older than me (at least they appeared so). Slowly, I began to […]
A Knight in Shining Under Armour
Posted on October 3, 2010
It must be a Saturday thing…training runs that just never seem to end, even before they get started. The kind where your legs are back home but you’re logging miles at the reservoir…your head is on line or in the clouds – anywhere but in the run. Why does it feel like it never gets […]
First Post
Posted on September 30, 2010
Bag of carrots? UGGH! Go for a run? UGGH! Power walking? Well, now you’ve got my attention. I can do that. However, I wanted to do more than that. This year I decided to focus my efforts on challenging my mind and satisfying my spirit. I am totally fascinated by psychology. Always have been. I […]
