I’m getting antsy. I don’t have a race in the near future. Everyone I know has big races coming up in the next few weeks and I actively support them but I am a tad jealous…My training is intense but there is an air about it that is uninspired. I’ve always been a sucker for…

The Run, the Runner
This post has been milling around in my head for a while… It’s hard for me to explain to people what running means to me. It goes beyond something that I do and is an actual part of me. This part of me I can’t remove and I don’t want to be without. It’s the…
Into the Darkness
I’ve engaged in a one-year journey to figure out my life and live it completely. It started with leaving a corporate world for a literary one and my one year journey of self-exploration has exposed a few things… a few proverbial chinks in the armor of my dream quest. When all the girls in high…

Yesterday was a day for me. I had some majorly cool stuff happen and some majorly shitty stuff happen too. I started my day in a dead panic thinking I was running late for a triathlon… I was riding a bike I had never ridden before and my rotation would be compromised by a recent…

Chapter One: Be-ing.
It’s questions… so many questions. I used to ask, “What am I doing?” But I realized a better question is, “Who am I being?” I suppose it always comes down to a moment. A choice. Choose or be chosen. It’s in that moment, that space just before the choice that you are the clearest, most…
Prologue: One Year
In October of 2010 I started this blog with one premise “I gave my life to be the person I am today, was it worth it?” (Richard Bach) “Today my answer is “yes.” I had left an unhappy and unfulfilling situation and found the root of myself and was beginning a journey. I feel like…
New Blogging Beginnings…
You’ve probably noticed my site had a little face lift over the weekend. I have decided to split up my blog into two distinct spaces. Leaving a Path, where you are now, is where I’ll be talking about my training, my life, and the things that make me laugh, the things that motivate and inspire me as…
