There’s No Crying in Baseball

Although this blog doesn’t prove it (based on this and previous posts) I am not a crier. I do not cry. But today, and the day before, and the day before I cried. It turns out that running on empty for too long is not good for holding back ‘what’s-wrong-with-me-mini-breakdowns’ in the ladies restroom (or

Find the Confidence You Need in 1 Easy Step

Step 1: Do something. On Sunday, I did. I finished goal #1 on my list of goals: complete a half marathon. Check. Sometimes we need something to keep our mind off of other things.
