Our Days Are Numbered

The point of the story is you don’t know how long you’ll be here on Earth. Don’t waste the days you have on a mediocre life! Don’t someday your dreams! Each day is a non-refundable day! Les Brown Doesn’t this set your heart on fire to go after all the things you want in life?Continue reading “Our Days Are Numbered”

Follow the Signs

Who is guilty of falling in love with the perfect wall art that catches your eye in the home decor section of Target or a local department store? I’m that gal! I thoroughly enjoy looking through the quotes in particular! If there’s one that really speaks to me, I’ll buy it to serve as aContinue reading “Follow the Signs”

Take a leap of faith & leave your doubt behind!

A pattern I’m realizing about highly successful people is their ability to take chances and step outside of their comfort zone. They all seem to have a compelling and moving story about taking a giant leap of faith. They understood that greater things were ahead but they had to be willing to get uncomfortable inContinue reading “Take a leap of faith & leave your doubt behind!”

Chase the Joy, not the Time

This post was inspired by the wonderful words of runner Molly Seidel. “Our sport is all about metrics. What’s your time? What’s your pace? How far did you go? How many people did you beat? Did you win? It could be easy to get so caught up in the parameters of our races that weContinue reading “Chase the Joy, not the Time”

Reclaim your Momentum

Do you feel like you are stagnant or backtracking? During training seasons, we experience a remarkable transformation of witnessing our mind and body grow over time.

Together, Wherever!

The incredible thing about running is the immediate bond you feel with fellow runners. It’s a mutual understanding, an appreciation of the common drive we share. I love passing someone on a path and having that silent hello moment. Whether it be a wave, nod or smile – it’s a way to encourage each otherContinue reading “Together, Wherever!”

Morning Mindset

The journey of turning from a night owl into a morning person. I used to believe that you can’t just become a “morning person” if you aren’t wired that way. The truth is, you absolutely can. This thought is quite frankly an excuse we tell ourselves to keep our regular routine when we don’t wantContinue reading “Morning Mindset”

Commit to Your Goals and Yourself

Commitment vs Motivation. To see results, it doesn’t happen overnight. Outstanding results doesn’t come from mediocre effort. You have to put in the hard work to see the fruits of your labor. You must commit to your goals and yourself. When I first started running, there were weeks I would slack off because I basedContinue reading “Commit to Your Goals and Yourself”

Be Your Own Cheerleader

Running takes commitment and determination, from you and no one else! In running, there’s rarely people holding you accountable to show up. Will you give it your best during months of training – even on those days you don’t feel like it? Will you promise to be consistent? It’s actually liberating when your success andContinue reading “Be Your Own Cheerleader”

What happened?

It all began with the lockdown. As we entered a new world of everything closing around us, I thought deeply about how I could use this time. I wanted to work on something that I did have control over. I desired to use this new gift of time towards something beneficial. I found happiness inContinue reading “What happened?”
