The last time I blogged I was basebuilding for my first 70.3 (or triathlon of any distance). The short of the very long update goes a little something like this: I struggled to have energy for workouts, got bloodwork, got diagnosed with mono + low iron + low ferritin, had knee problem and return of … Continue reading Reflecting on the Last Six Months
One of my intentions for 2016 is to reflect more, and have the courage to change the things that make me unhappy or merit change of some sort. Sounds vague, yeah? 2015 was all over the place... I started a new job in June and started working outside of the house for the first time … Continue reading Reflecting and Daring…
When I moved to Connecticut in June of 2012 for what promised to be an amazing opportunity at Yale University I was elated. I was going to be much closer to my family (3 hour drive) and my year in Charleston hadn't been that great. I took a chance on a good job in a … Continue reading It’s Okay to Quit Sometimes…
Mid-February I started going to a new Physical Therapy practice - known for fixing the troubled ones. His practice does things very differently from anywhere I've ever gone before. I got the go ahead to keep running and biking, but to shut everything else down. No Barre, no Pilates, no strength work at all (wait … Continue reading Ramping Back Up…
I had really high hopes and expectations for finally fixing the hip issue and the imbalances that have caused the hip and countless other injuries at the onset of this year. The physical therapy practice I chose to work with won't be able to help me. I can't really fathom why they can't help me … Continue reading Shutting It Down…
With a new year often comes new goals and a fresh start. Really you can start fresh at anytime, a new year is just seemingly the most convenient time to do so. 2014 wasn't a great year for me...and although looking back is at times counterproductive and useless, there are takeaways for certain. Last year … Continue reading Looking Ahead
2014 was full of many ups and downs. More downs than ups it seems looking back over the year. I vowed to make some changes in 2014, but got a little overwhelmed with some life-changing events and decisions. I did opt to defer starting my MBA program in the fall which was a really wise … Continue reading See You Later…
I've been getting questions lately about my training and I've opted to keep most of it on the low down, until now. The reality of my hip injury is that it is more complicated than a lot of issues I've dealt with. As well as it needing time off, it also needed some TLC: a … Continue reading No Wine-ing for Me
So much for trying to blog once a week, oops. There have been so many things up in the air since May and I have been so incredibly stressed. I'm very much Type A and I can only "go with the flow" so much. Many, many things were out of my control and I had … Continue reading A Whirlwind
Life has been both busy and relaxing in the last few weeks. Work has been a bit of madness since I switched to work at home/changed my role. The last 2 months has had my team doing everything to provide critical support for other business lines and I actually haven't been doing much (if any) … Continue reading A Bit of Madness
