How do you eat an elephant? * ONEBITEATATIME! * It’s a lot better when @lauraluv2tri pulls me through for the long runs (as she has for years). ... * We set big goals, crazy ones even. We don’t think we’re crazy. Nope. * Have friends who support your goals. Friends you can be stinky with. Friends you can be vulnerable with. * There is so much freedom and trust in that. * I DO NOT take that for granted. * Have friends you can run AND chat with for hours. Friends who have seen your ugly cry. * Mentally, today I did not want to run. But there was NO WAY I would cancel. * Physically, I was tired. Everything hurt. * Mentally, I was touch and go. Yesterday I cried. Today, my friend was there. I was not miserable. * Ending the week with high miles, better mood, keeping my up. * When the world feels uneasy, upside down, I am grateful for my friends who help me eat the elephant one bite at a time. * Alrighty, I’m gonna go stretch, roll, compress, decompress, epsom salt bath, knit , EAT, and recover. * #Badwater267VR first 10 days down, 21 days to go. * What’s your active recovery routine?

I absolutely suck at baking cookies and pastries. BUT I can cut a rug while rolling up a mean Pizza, Stromboli, and Calzones! I’ve learned many lessons this year. More than I can fit in this caption. ... I’ve learned them by failing first, making mistakes, knowing what I can do and pivoting when I need to. I’ve realized that I had to LET GO and LET FLOW. Creating space. Giving myself permission. Sharing my joy. Dancing my way into 2021...with my rolling pin. Muchacha @gentedezona , @iambeckyg

COURAGE to press on. Declare your strength and OWN IT! A few weeks ago, I had a conversation with a dear friend and incredible athlete about a topic most female athletes do not discuss, at least not openly. I said to her, my body has changed since I’m not racing. I’ve gained 15 lbs since focusing on strength training and my clothes don’t fit!... My first thought was, oh my goodness, I’m getting too big. Oh no! Dial back, hold back, increase the cardio. The truth is, yes my muscles are getting bigger, I’m getting stronger, and my body is changing to accommodate for it. Rewarding me with strength. See, as athletes, female athletes, we find that we must look at certain way, the flat stomach, chiseled abs, the booty. As a triathlete I felt like I had to look LEAN. If I look mean and lean, I am gonna go fast! You can agree or disagree with me. Up to you. In the past 5 months, my main focus has been strength. And guess what? I am heavier, I am stronger and I AM STILL FAST! WHAT IF I SAY TO YOU, LOOK STRONG. BE STRONG. I don’t want to look skinny, I want to look like I can KICK YOUR ASS. I showed my husband this video and asked him, What do you see? He said, I see strength, speed, power. So I’m saying this again, I don’t want to look skinny, I want to look like I can kick your ass. Have the COURAGE to be seen. Press. @iamcardib See more

My favorite sunset view. One mile from home. We cried as a family. We made so many changes this year. We chose US. ... As the sun sets on 2020, we are deeply grateful and hopeful. Happy New Year. My word for 2021: COURAGE. @ Huntington Beach, California

Doctor. 10 years of sacrifice, hard work, dedication. I EARNED my degree. The journey was not an easy one. ... If anyone EVER calls ME kiddo, I will punch you in the throat. @drbiden earned her degree. She can use her title however she wants. See more

Maketheathletefeelsomething! Before you invest your time into 372644 exercises, you or athlete or client must first FEEL that the exercise or activity you are doing is actually creating a CHANGE. It is not that the athlete is non-compliant, it’s probably because what they were doing was not solving their problem. ... Do I know which exercise makes a change? I may have an idea...BUT... You do! The athlete does. Their BODY does. This is why I teach you more than one. They/YOU must feel the difference before and after. I cannot stress this enough. Huge s/o to my friend Anna Hartman @movementrev for stressing this point a few weeks ago. See more

Happy Thanksgiving! Dancing while cooking Thanksgiving dinner. It’s a different kind of Thanksgiving this year. ... We have all endured so much this year. Together. JJ, Patrick, and I are moved with deep gratitude for each other. We are grateful for our families-those we are born into and those we choose. Wherever you are, however you’re celebrating, May you feel love, compassion, warmth...and a DANCE PARTY! La Cosquillita, @juanluisguerra
