One of my foundational messages is the importance of goal setting. I stand for the power of taking your wants and making them possible. I sincerely believe in the amazing worth and capabilities of humans. And I am inspired by those who take on the craziest, awe...

If you don’t know me beyond this blog you might think I am quite serious. Contemplative. It is true that as I have grown older I have cultivated this side of myself more. I enjoy deeper conversations and more meaningful connections.  But, the real me LOVES to...

And in a blink of an eye (or after many, many hours), Ironman Wisconsin 2021 is over.  It was a great day for a long distance triathlon. Overcast and cool enough without being cold. Some athletes finished in the daylight hours and were probably able to get a fair...

Sunday is the locally long awaited return of the Ironman Wisconsin triathlon after a pandemic forced hiatus in 2020.  A quick recap for readers who aren’t sure of what exactly the Ironman is… it is a race that covers 2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles of road...
