Here we go! This is the first of the 8-part series that I'm launching in conjunction with what I did towards the end of last year. I'm super excited with what's happening and what has already happened, but I first need to go back to the beginning of the year and see what I said... Continue Reading →
So, because my blog, podcasts, Instagram and other means of social media is gaining a lot of momentum, I think it's time to finally introduce myself on a scale no one ever has. Mother/Father broke up in 97. Two step mothers and three elementary schools in a one year period. Father dropped my siblings and... Continue Reading →
I went from booking a ticket, thinking that my Spartan Beast in Malaysia was on a Saturday, to cancelling a plane ticket and realizing that plane tickets on other days were at extortionate prices. YIKES! What a disaster. What seemed like a sure Spartan Beast and trifecta claiming weekend turned into a nightmare whereas I... Continue Reading →
First time I did a Tough Mudder in Melbourne, Australia, I was stoked. I mean I remember the long drive there, the cool temperatures, the enthusiasts at a pit-stop along the way wearing leggings. I mean the build up was insane. My best friend, Joy, was just driving casually; meanwhile, the energy going through my... Continue Reading →
Wonderful question came in today from a friend in Japan asking something very deep - something I somewhat covered in my last podcast. So, here are the questions. Where do you get your strength from? I lived in Australia for one year. I thought I was ostricized by society. There were days I thought I... Continue Reading →
Yes, indeed! I'll be making landfall back in my 'second home' of a country called Australia this upcoming February to kick-off the 2018 Spartan festivities - beginning with a Hurricane Heat. What the hell is a Hurricane Heat? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY5GVmhH0t0&t=3s Something tells me that this is going to be the competition of a lifetime. No "gorilla"... Continue Reading →
This will be the first ever Spartan Race in Chon Buri, Thailand and I'm not even worried. For the most part, there's a huge underestimation of the race happening within my mind that will sneak up on me. Malaysia Was A Rude Awakening I thought the Spartan Super in Kuala Lumpur was going to be... Continue Reading →
When I came back from Australia, I had NOTHING in common with anyone in Las Vegas. Yes, that mass of desert with a population shy of two million - all of whom never travel abroad. I remember I was at a bar and this girl ranted, "America is the greatest country in the world!" After... Continue Reading →
Track & Field in high school Those 200m, 300m, and 400m intervals that made me feel faint, dizzy, legs burning, and wanting to throw up after practice everyday were grueling. As an athlete, these days, including heels and bleachers, are the days we dread. The days I used to dread. However, little did I know... Continue Reading →
I absolutely loved Australia. I loved everything it had to offer such as the gorgeous northern beaches (Avalon, Monavale, Deewhy, Palm Beach) in Sydney, to the beautiful suburbs in Melbourne, to the Blue Mountains, and Darling Harbour. So much good to point out, but I wasn't able to fully relish the experience of actually being... Continue Reading →
