I finally did it. It’s been 8 months. Eight long months of doing things different. An MRI, x-rays, 4 PRP injections, physical therapy, at home strength training, swimming, stretching, yoga, walking & hiking. Many of you know I have been a lifelong runner, it started in high school and hasn’t really stopped until now. So […]
Do you admit when you are wrong, or when you have judged or assumed something inaccurately? This recently happened to me, it was that “gulp” moment when you realize that something you thought was silly (or dumb/wrong) turns out to be right (or acceptable). How often does this happen in your life? Do you admit […]
Lately these blogs have been just so hard to write. I typically write about some personal experience and relate it to health or positivity, but I’m having a hard time finding some personal events to discuss. It’s been 10 weeks of this craziness, right? Yea, sheltering at home maybe was “nice” for the first two […]
Another thing checked off my bucket list! As many of you know, I love to run but I also love to travel, so when a trip comes along that combines the two of them, that’s a recipe for an ideal vacation to me. In 2018 I was introduced to a company called Vacation Races and […]
Apparently, my idea of fun is quite different than many people’s idea of fun….I mean, running 203 miles with a group of people, staying up all night, and laughing a lot is fun, right? It’s like a girls’ weekend away, except instead of being at a beach and nice restaurants, we are packed into a […]
Earlier this month I participated in a 5k road race that was amazing! What was so special about it? Well as a lifelong runner, it was AMAZING to be a “push assist volunteer” — which means I pushed a 20-year old girl in a wheelchair, so she could enjoy a 5k race. Can you imagine […]
As we head into the Boston Marathon this weekend, I thought it was very appropriate to write about how chiropractic care helped me qualify for this special race. I’ve qualified for Boston five times, yet it was the first time that I qualified that made a huge difference in my life. About seven years after […]
“Have you done any races lately?” is a question I have been asked numerous times recently. People are so use to me racing, so they are asking me that question when they are in the office. However, my answer is no, which is so unusual for me. In 2015, I raced 13 times, including three […]
If you read last month’s blog, then you know it was all about setting New Year’s Resolutions and creating an intentional word for the year. Did you decide on your word? How are your resolutions coming along? Did you come in for your adjustment and write a goal for 2018 for us to put up […]
Back in 2013 when I ran the Vancouver Marathon, I told myself it was my “last marathon”, that I didn’t want to go through that kind of training anymore. I have finished 11 marathons and felt that the time & effort it took was more than I wanted. Looking back on it, I should have […]
