Every time I watch my daughter play soccer I’m amazed at how hard she tries. She plays her heart out. Never gives it less than her best.

She’ll be 17 in two weeks. And, as a teenager, she many balls to juggle. It’s a complicated world for her finding her way through life with friends, wondering which group she best belongs to, is there a boyfriend out there, what college should I apply to, am I ready for SAT test, etc.

It was a successful day for me, winning the W70-74 age group. I also broke the course record which I set last year, and, although it counts for nothing except...

The phone rang, I didn’t recognize the number, but, thought, hey, what the heck, I’ll answer it any way (I usually don’t if I don’t know the number) as it may be a complete surprise and bring good fortune.

It was the iconic show, Sunday Morning, hosted by Charles Osgood.

I was asked by the show’s producer if I thought winning mattered?

A bowel movement, properly considered, actually starts with your first bite. When you swallow your food, it goes down the esophagus and into your stomach.

Running after a long bike ride is a big "ask." We've already spent multiple hours working our bodies hard. And now we have to summon the energy and mental courage to cover many miles by foot. But, as my husband is fond of reminding me: You asked for this. So hadn't we better find a way to handle this triathlon run – a way that doesn't leave us questioning what went wrong?...

Beautiful doesn’t begin to describe the run course as it winds through the breathtaking resort grounds. This is the only opportunity you will probably ever have to run on the gorgeous fairways of a world class resort golf course without getting arrested!  From rolling hills of green grass, to feeling the ocean breeze along the stunning coastal bay, then heading all the way out to the petroglyph park, Honu 70.3 in Kona is truly a journey through paradise.

If you are always full of energy and don’t have dips and lulls through the day, then you definitely do not need to take nutrition supplements daily...

As I have transitioned into a new job as the Brigade Operations Officer for 1st Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division - my time and my recovery from training are both becoming more and more important.

My time for training is absolutely critical because I must be judicious and efficient with my time in my new job. It isn’t uncommon to work late into the evening hours and report back for work early the next morning before the sun has risen.

If you’re unfamiliar with this event, it’s worth knowing a little something about it.
