As many of you know, I write myself a “thank you” letter during the month of December for the year ahead. It is a way for me to focus my goals and set intentions for the following year. I have kept up this tradition for the last several years.

“Do What You Can” feels as though it has been my mantra since the end of February. My workout regimen changed dramatically with a plantar fasciitis diagnosis. There was no running or cycling for quite some time as I began physical therapy. Therapy stopped suddenly due to Covid, just like everything else. At that point, I did what I could on my own to help aid in recovery. Additionally, I had to figure out what to do for working out.

You are more than a number on a scale. Read that again. You are more than a number on scale. So much more! I have spent so much of my life trying to look a certain way or achieve a magic number on a scale. I always thought it would get me something or somewhere. All it did was cause me angst and anxiety.

SMF is driven by that passion I feel to lift women up.

Wow, what a week!

This week started off with a bang , but had a rapid decline due to just feeling lousy with a cold that has lingered a little too long.

This week was filled with pure joy as I got back out there on the trails to run with friends.
