REFLECTION
Wow. 2018 has come and gone, and we are already well into January. Most people have already set up and are working on New Year’s Resolutions, set intentions/goals, and mantras for 2019. I’m seeing it everywhere! Personally, I feel like I’ve barely had time to reflect on the past year. A LOT has happened…

Balance
This summer is shaping up to be a BUSY one already, for the whole Howard fam! It can be easy sometimes, to get sucked into the overwhelm. Trying to find time for growing the business, studying, training, shopping for and preparing healthy food (so we can have the energy to do all that other stuff),…

What’s Your Barometer?
Question to my running friends…. Who thinks they would win this one? I bet I’d give you a real “RUN” for your money. HA! I was looking at my feet today, and I realized they have become a pretty good gauge of where I am in life. Most of the time, I’m used to seeing…

Stepping Back
This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending yet another HCI (Health Coach Institute) Live event, this one right here in good ole Phoenix! I gathered with 800+ of my closest friends and tribe mates at the AZ Grand Resort, which has been recently renovated, nice! This event came at a perfect time for…

We don’t Always Stay on Top
Pretty sure this picture says it all. Pure elation at the pinnacle of one of my best races, as well as the pinnacle of a fantastic season in general. I don’t believe this day could’ve gone better, and it capped off a very strong season of running for me, possibly my strongest yet at 50…

What’s your Why?
Less than 4 weeks to go before the next Ultra at Crown King. Consequently, I have definitely been feeling the “hamster wheel” effect lately. Every time the alarm goes off, I picture Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. Wake up well before the sun, run the miles, climb the hills, then do the rest of the…

How’s 2018 going for you so far? Did you survive the holidays?? I did. Barely. Maybe I just have more awareness as I get older, but I’ll tell you what. Even when I thought I was doing a pretty good job at the time, I could not escape the ill effects of the added stress,…

Fa-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-BLAH…
Are you feeling it yet? Are the holidays catching up to you? If you’re like me, you may already be feeling the effects of ALL those treats at your disposal so far. One only has to look as far as January 1 to see the toll this time of year can take ~ New…

HoHoHoHELP!
The holidays are in full swing, peeps! Now, if you’re like this little guy^ or Buddy the Elf, you are busting at the seams, and you probably had your shopping done by Thanksgiving. If you’re more like me, you *maybe* got some of your shopping done, squeaked out a few cards, and are literally planning…
