Lydia the Confused Athlete

I'm just a girl thirsty for adventures, seeking it wherever it may be found. Whether on the bike, on a trail, in a race, running up a mountain, kayaking on a lake, camping in the forest… or whatever else I can find it. But also the adventures of the mind and heart, the most complicated and challenging ones we can face. So come with me, let's explore…

Wind is just hills in gaseous form…

Wind is just hills in gaseous form... I freaking love this. I wish I could say I was that cool and creative but alas, I am not. A friend I rode with quoted this to me today and I think he said he stole it from someone else. Genius though. I will use this a … Continue reading Wind is just hills in gaseous form… →

Leadville… so this is happening…

Yeah, so back at the beginning of December I did this silly thing and put my name in the Lottery for the Leadville Trail 100 MTB. Basically I was like, ok, if I don't get in... whatever! And if I do get in... Shit. I feel like in some ways I was kind of hoping … Continue reading Leadville… so this is happening… →

Time to Race Again!!

Reflecting back on the last year, it’s admittedly been rough. But I think the wonderful thing about reflection is you get to look back and take note of the things that troubled you, the things you loved, and then plan forward for how you want to change things going forward. I took the last two … Continue reading Time to Race Again!! →

Providing for my Body

Do you ever just feel like you have a zillion things going on in your head and you just can't make it stop? Like it swirls and you talk about it, and you think it's off your chest, but then your every waking moment is spent obsessing over it? Yeah... no, not me either. Poor … Continue reading Providing for my Body →

Makeup when working out

So how many time have you gone to the gym and thought damn, that girl looks good during her workout?? Wait... she had makeup on?! All sweaty and gross, but she’s got pretty eyes or it looks like she curled her hair before she put it in a ponytail. I’m totally guilty of those judgements. … Continue reading Makeup when working out →

Vulnerability

The last few weeks have been an incredible journey. And not in a good way. My life overall has not been one that has allowed me to be open and express my true feelings. I recall my childhood being one of being told how to think, how to feel, how to dress, how to talk. … Continue reading Vulnerability →

Year recap ….

Well. I realize it's been nearly a year since I've made a post. Something I've talked for months now of getting back to. What better time than the present when I can't sleep?? Some circumstances have caused me to look back on this year, which I suppose we normally do as a year draws to … Continue reading Year recap …. →

So How About This for Adventure?!

Life really is an adventure isn't it?? It doesn't follow a script. It doesn't follow any sort of prescribed story line. It just is this crazy, free flowing river of decisions, choices, fate, destiny, or whatever you want to attach to it. When I was 18 I got married, I was very naive, immature, and … Continue reading So How About This for Adventure?! →
