Magic Hour, the highly anticipated album from Scissor Sisters releases in the UK on May 14th and to the U.S. on June 5th. It’s kind of weird to me since they ARE from the U.S. But they do have that British Indie sound. Lucky for us in the States, they have some U.S. dates on […]
Going into this year I had the best intentions to write a blog post on a weekly (if not more often) basis. I had grand plans… a weekly post on music I love, including new-to-me artists and another on an interview with a fearless female athlete or another good role model for young women. And […]
While listening to BBC Radio Scotland for my daily dose of Scottish immersion, I heard a cool song that I think you’ll enjoy by Discopolis. They are an “electro-indie” band that hails from Edinburgh. Their latest song, “Zenithopia” was released earlier this month. What the heck does “zenithobia” mean? I couldn’t find a definition, but […]
To find out, check out my stint as a guest blogger over at Celtic Hearts. Here’s a brief glimpse at the kind of sheep you can find in Ireland and Scotland. Check out my post to see more… You won’t be disappointed. Photo Credit: P. Stubbs […]
(Photo by Anthony Quintano)A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of interviewing 2004 Olympian (and Villanova Alum) Carrie Tollefson. Unfortunately Carrie started Villanova the fall following my last semester, so we were never teammates. And that stinks because she’s the kind of athlete you want on your team – super fun, super enthusiastic, super […]
I have a motto about blogging, if you don’t have something interesting to say – Don’t. So I haven’t. But today I was in need of a little bit of inspiration or maybe motivation and happened upon these quotes I hope you’ll enjoy. They are relatable to the inner competitor (and author) in all of […]
I know you’ve seen them. Those sassy shirts that say something like, “Some Girls Chase Boys. I Pass ‘Em.” While I was training and competing, one of the coolest feelings was knowing I could run faster than a heck of a lot of guys. In fact, post-collegiately, I did some workouts with the Men’s Track […]
Last week Ed Sheeran won the Best Male Solo Artist at the Brit Awards. His performance of his hit song “Lego House” was masterful. If you’ve never seen the official video for “Lego House” you’ll want to check it out. Harry Potter fans will immediately recognize someone they’ve grown to love. Be sure to watch […]
A couple weeks ago I heard Emeli Sandè’s latest single, “Next to Me,” on the Tom Morton Show. Immediately I was tapping my toes to the infectious beat. It’s a little gospel, a little rock and a whole lot of soul. Did you know that the Scottish singer is also a songwriter? She’s written for […]
When I competed in college and after, when I trained for the Olympics, I logged of all my mileage and workouts. It was a great way to see how my training changed month to month, and year to year, as my fitness level increased. I also tracked my PBs or personal bests. This is my […]
