I do not think everyone needs to race Ironman Triathlon. Not because I don’t think anyone can do it; rather, I feel the need to put out this disclaimer in order to preface my post. I do believe everyone needs to move in some capacity, and once you read this, you’ll see what I mean. […]
Read More ›A little over a week ago, I wrote a post about my experience at my most recent race, Ironman Vineman 70.3. In it, I focused largely on the role meditation played not only in the race itself, but in the days leading up to it. I’m in the process of working on my own personal […]
Read More ›Veggies A- Z; E is for Eggplant OK, ok, it’s not technically a veggie; it’s a fruit.
