Today is a very good day. 9 years ago, I made the

Today is a very good day. 9 years ago, I made the decision to break up with alcohol. My relationship with alcohol was the longest relationship of my life. I’d never had a friend or boyfriend that long (probably due to my drinking). While saying goodbye to alcohol sounds like a noble decision, the reality is that I’d hit rock bottom. After decades of addiction, it was no longer my decision. It was time. I either needed to quit or give up on life. I’m pretty certain I would not be here today had I not made this choice.
🏃🏼‍♀️
Living alcohol free has improved every aspect of my life: my health, my fitness, my business, and my relationships. I’m so thankful I made this choice.
🏃🏼‍♀️
So today, I knocked out a 10K to honor my decision. It was just enough challenge to remind me that I can do hard things. I don’t need to numb myself. I can feel pain and joy and happiness. I can struggle without giving up. I can succeed. I can thrive. You can, too.

Consistency. It’s everything. It’s more than

Consistency. It’s everything. It’s more than everything. It’s all there is. As a coach, I tell my athletes to show up and do the work. Trust the science. Be consistent. Be methodical. The results will come.
🏃🏼‍♀️
Show up. Do the work. But how can walking in the forest be the work? Who knew that my daily walks, up and down the hills of Skyline Forest, would allow me to regain fitness so quickly. Two weeks ago I could barely walk these hills. I was completely out of breath and sore when I’d finish. But I kept at it, walking longer and longer distances with more elevation gain. Last week I started feeling pretty good, so I threw in a few short running segments. Today, I was able to run 4 hilly miles non-stop at a pretty decent pace.
🏃🏼‍♀️
Much of the advice I share with my athletes is applicable, not only to sport, but to life, too.
🏃🏼‍♀️
Show up. Do the work. Trust the process. Be consistent.

I have a confession to make. Although I’ve ridden my bike in snow and ice and rain, slept on a glacier, snow camped, and bike packed through a swamp, I’m really a sunshine and blue skies kinda girl. I know, as long as I keep my body moving and wear the right clothing, weather is a non-issue. But still, I find it incredibly difficult to get my happy ass out the door on cold, wet mornings (like today). I also know that if I wait to workout after work, I probably won’t do it. But thanks to the #mermaidstreak I got out and did another run/walk in the forest this morning. And it was awesome.
🏃🏼‍♀️
What motivates you to get out of the door when you maybe kinda sorta probably don’t really want to do it?

2020! Am I right? What a year and the hits just keep coming. We all know the pain. I’m trying to focus on the positives.
🏃🏼‍♀️
I’m back in school, studying physical therapy.
🏃🏼‍♀️
I have an amazing new bike fit studio and a new dynamic fit bike.
🏃🏼‍♀️
I accepted a super-fun job with @teamwilpers providing virtual Peloton fits.
🏃🏼‍♀️
I ran my first half marathon with @mermaidseries and more miles than I’ve ever run in a year.
🏃🏼‍♀️
We have a beautiful new playground in the forest.
🏃🏼‍♀️
I’m loved, I’m safe, and I’m healthy.
🏃🏼‍♀️
But the past 3 months have been pretty stressful. Rather than drop other balls, I let my fitness suffer. But I’m excited to be back with some cool goals for 2021. Rather than wait for the new year, I got out there today for my first run in 3 months. It was glorious. And it was completely different than what I’ve done in the past. I did a guided run workout with @mattwilpers on @onepeloton . It was a trail run. And it was hilly. That’s 3 firsts for me.
🏃🏼‍♀️
Congratulations, friends! We made it! I’m back. I’ve missed you all. Now, let’s hunker down and get through the next few months. WE GOT THIS!

Happy Thanksgiving! Today, as I contemplate the year past, I’m reminded of my mantra from the early days of SiP: “I’m loved, I’m healthy, I’m safe.” I hope this is true for you today and through the coming year. May the road ahead be smooth, with just the right amount of challenge!

Hello friends! It’s been a while. 2020 has bee

Hello friends! It’s been a while. 2020 has been a year, hasn’t it? Uncertainty is really difficult for me. I lost my voice. But I think I’ve rediscovered my voice.
🚲
Do you have a purpose? I have a purpose and it’s more clear than ever. For the past 20 years, my passion has been to empower others to improve their lives by riding a bicycle. It’s simple. It’s clear. It’s my everything.
🚲
How do I do this? I teach. I share. I communicate. And, even in these crazy times where were all learning to pivot to a new way of living and interacting, my passion is thriving.
🚲
I’ve been able to resume coaching bike skills clinics, and while the groups are smaller (by county health order), the stoke is bigger. I was able to move into a bigger, better bike fit studio, which also allows me to do things in new and different ways. And I’ve challenged myself with new projects: podcasts, and webcasts, and virtual speaking engagements, and video bike fitting. All in all, some exciting stuff right there.
🚲
So, while I’ve missed the old life I led, and it’s taken some time to settle into our new normal, I’m back and ready to share my passion with you again. Thanks for waiting!

I’ve all but abandoned IG and, while I’m sad about losing connection, nothing about social media seems normal anymore. It’s odd, because at a time when we’re isolated from our people, you would think we would want to reach out to each other. But it all seems trivial to me now. No one cares if we ride our bikes or run or hike. The world is hurting. Our country is crumbling. All we have left is love.
❤️
I’m so fortunate to have found an amazing partner who supports me and challenges me and lifts me up. That matters. He matters. Love matters.

This was supposed to be my year to run. I started in October and ran my first half marathon in February. I followed my training plan to a T. And then #covid19 happened, and while I’m still running, my training has been pretty sporadic. With no live events on the horizon, it’s been challenging to focus on consistent training.
🏃🏼‍♀️
Today marks the start of the @mermaidseries Run Across California. It’s a virtual event comprising 200 miles (from Lake Tahoe to San Francisco) in 100 days. So I laced up my running shoes and pounded out a 5K. 3.1 miles down; 196.9 miles to go!
