Starting this week with a full and happy heart. This past weekend we moved Marin home from college and celebrated Mother’s Day. Having our house full once again was the best gift! Love when our family band is all together and under one roof for a bit. This stage of life with Marin and Tucker is my favorite. Watching them grow, thrive, and fly into their young adult lives has been exciting.
FOR THE LOVE OF SPORT, FITNESS AND HEALTH
Up with the sunrise. I am an early morning athlete. Getting up before the rest of the world wakes up when things are at peace is my jam. I run best, I workout best, I play tennis best in the mornings. I find it key to my consistency to get that movement in early. My brain doesn’t have a chance to think about what it’s doing. I just get up and go. Am I tired? Yep. Are there days I would rather stay in bed? Yep. This is a commitment to myself and that above anything or anyone is my why. I am worth losing sleep for. It sets my day up for success. That post workout endorphin buzz pushes my day forward with drive and intention. If you aren’t a morning human, I challenge you to try the early morning grind just once. See how you feel, that little positive kick might just flow into the rest of your day!

MY FAVORITE THINGS
WHITE BUTTON DOWN
A simple white button down is the essential piece to every women’s wardrobe. I have several. I honesty have not been wearing them enough lately and I plan to change that. Dressed up, dressed down it always looks crisp and put together. In this moment in my life I style my button downs casually. I little rolled sleeve and a pop of the collar, chefs kiss!
DIAMOND CELLAR SPARKLE AND SHINE STICK
A new fav of mine! For a quick way to have all of your sparkly things sparkle this SPARKLE AND SHINE STICK is amazing! It does the job and then some. I have multiple ways of cleaning my jewelry here at home but this by far is the easiest!
I don’t drink them often at all BUT when dining at FIGLIO I will order a COSMO. They make it just the way I like it. On Mother’s Day it along with my amazing pasta dinner was the perfect way to celebrate the day!
IN THE KITCHEN
With summer approaching, I have been thinking of two family favorite recipes. Marin was 2 when we first tried these. Marc and Marin used to watch Giada De Laurentiis on FoodNetwork. Even at 2 Marin was glued to this show. Giada had both these recipes on an episode and I went to find them online immediately. Made them for Picnic with the Pops that weekend…they are both perfect for summer picnics! Ever since these have been summer staples in our kitchen! THANK YOU GIADA!
Click below for recipes.
HOME AND GARDEN
Have been spending so much time in our back gardens this past week. Loved the sun on my skin and my toes in the dirt. We built our home 26 years ago, so I have come to know our backyard and how things grow well. We have a large tree next to our patio. It creates a lovely umbrella of shade over most of the yard.
The plants that I planned for this space have the shade in mind. In the past I have focused on annuals and herbs that love the shade. I love the color, texture, and vibe they bring. However, I can’t seem to keep them all alive through the entire summer. This year my focus is on perennials. These include bushes and plants that grow year after year. They don’t have to be repurchased and planted. Thinking long term for this yard and creating new gardens that will will develop in phases over the next year. I want the the lush, east coast look and what I have designed and planned will eventually be just that.
PLEASE AND THANK YOU
Starting out simple: something most of us do but I would be remiss if I didn’t start here. When dining or eating casually…place the napkin on your lap. If you are in a more formal/semi formal situation you will probably have a linen napkin to your left. It may also be rolled with utensils inside. Right after you sit down place the napkin on your lap.
When in a very casual situation using paper napkins, yep you guessed it the napkin goes on your lap. Aunt Peg trained me well. Even when I eat fast food, the tiny paper napkin will be in my lap. It feels unnatural not to have it there.
CELEBRATING BRIGHTLY
Making the small things big memory making events is something I absolutely love to do! King Charles Coronation was one small thing I made into a sweet memory. I am from deep British decent. My Mom would tell me stories of my Great Grandparents toasting the King every evening before dinner. Once he passed, and Elizabeth rose to the throne, they changed to toasting the Queen. My love for all things Brit and Royal comes to me honestly. The Coronation of King Charles was historic and I planned with every detail to celebrate it. Creating the celebration was quite simple. I pulled china, crystal, linens and sterling from our family collection. Printed out a celebration bunting from Pinterest and used ribbon I already had to put it together. Pastries came from one of our local shops. I hung the Union Jack alongside the Stars and Stripes and TADA I had a small, little Coronation party! It doesn’t take a lot to make a big impact and memories that last forever.

Well, well, welcome May! Finally we are here, finally we are closer to summer than winter. My heart and truly soul was patiently waiting. Waiting for nature to go from brown to green, for the air to feel warm and the sun to shine more than it didn’t. We have for sure been graced with lots of rainy days, like lots. We are waterlogged here in Columbus. After last summers drought I certainly do not want to dwell on days that are rainy.
Lots of busy this month-proms, graduations, college move-outs, end of school year stuff. In all the wonderful busy take time to look around and soak in the moments you can…it all moves so fast.
My mind has been simmering on so much recently. I have truly only touched upon the story of a female athlete with a little of the rest of life sprinkled in.
MORE THAN SPORT has been ringing deep. So much of my life, like years and years, has truly been spent immersed in LIFESTYLE. My athlete self has been, has gone and has risen again. It is one of my true loves but it is a piece of all my loves and passions.
With this thought, I am widening my vision for torrechadwick. I am keeping my love of sport but also including my passion for LIFESTYLE. I want to expand on the idea of sport/being an athlete to everyday fitness and health. Adding in home, garden, fashion, etiquette, entertaining-LIFESTYLE. Living life colorfully, boldly and brightly.
I will continue my female athlete coaching/mentoring and WALK AND TALKS as a piece of this brand. You can find those details clicking this link.
The new vision of ON THE BLOG is in this post. I am excited to jump into this new, fresh space. I hope you are too!
FOR THE LOVE OF SPORT, FITNESS AND HEALTH
Recovery. Recovery is not my strong suit. I have never been super patient with my body or time post race. In talking with my most amazing Personal Trainer Chistan, I need to be. I need to put great focus and intention into my recovery. As we age, the more we push the more and longer we need to recover. Post CAP CITY HALF this has been my goal.
With the many tools I have at home I spent the last week healing over worked muscles. Foam rolling, massage gun, stretching and above all resting! Except for a tennis lesson I kept my body quiet.
This week feels good, my body is ready to go back to my regular training. We are now in running off season so my miles will be short,fun, and more maintenance than anything. Having a break from training heals the body but for me also gives my mind a moment. Taking the intensity down and giving my athlete brain a chance to recover is super important for my mental health.

MY FAVORITE THINGS
Another level up from ALL THE GEAR! I can’t wait to share more than my favorite running/tennis/athlete items here. This opens it up to seriously all the things and your favorite things too!
IN THE KITCHEN
I am constantly a work in progress in the kitchen. I am a good cook and I enjoy cooking and all things in the kitchen once I start. I truly just do not enjoy the process that gets us to the point of cooking. Meal planning, grocery shopping, the putting away of all the groceries. Ahhhh…it is all a lot too much for me. Marc truly does the majority of this for our family. When the kiddos were little I did do some real cooking from recipes etc…my goal in the time ahead is to get back into some of that. Finding my love for the kitchen again. As I venture into this space, I will share my favorite recipes here. Some are tried and true, dishes Mari and Tuck ask for today. I want to branch out and try new meals. I am eager to explore new treats and snacks. I also want to try your tried and true recipes. With healthy living in mind, I am excited to jump in and find the joy of my kitchen!
HOME AND GARDEN
Have loved interior design since childhood. My room growing up was always visually pleasing and organized. That has continued through my adult life and our home. I have a creative eye, making our house a home over the years has been a joy. I will admit to changing entire rooms around on a whim. Apparently, my Grandmother (my Mom’s Mom) used to do that quite a bit. My Mom always said we were so much alike and would have been as thick as thieves. My Grandmother passed away before I was born.
Gardening and my enjoyment of it came once Marc and I got married and built our house. My Mom was always in our gardens when we were young. She asked my sister and me to join and help her. It was never an interest to us…I remember trips to Lowes and to garden nurseries with her. Those trips were so painful. I could not have been more bored. Many times she would tell me, just wait. Wait until you have your own home, you will then love coming to these spots. OMG was she right!
I am a doer-I will move furniture on my own, paint walls, edge gardens, power wash the house etc. I will do before hiring out. I may not “do” it in “just the right’ way but it’s my way, and it works.
PLEASE AND THANK YOU
I have a vivid memory. I remember sitting at my Mom’s large round dining room table with my Great Aunt Peg. I must have been around 8 years old at the time. Aunt Peg was the quintessential hostess. She was considered “old money” and held onto the thinking that children should be seen and not heard. She spent what I felt were hours around that table with me teaching etiquette essentials. She also taught me etiquette pieces that not many know. I absorbed everything she said. To this day, I find it to be one of the most important lessons I have experienced.
Etiquette, knowing it and practicing it is important. It not only shows self respect but respect and care to the world around us. It can come off rigid and puffed up but ultimately at it’s core is a sign of kindness.
What I know and what I will share is “old school” etiquette. I know much has been updated to flow with where we are in today’s society. I will research and update myself as this piece of the blog develops. For right now, I will share Aunt Peg’s lessons, as she was my etiquette OG.
CELEBRATING BRIGHTLY
This is my happy space! Celebrating all the things! BIG and small…my goodness life itself is a celebration! Events, planning them, creating them, attending them etc have been my jam for a large part of my life. Entertaining and creating memories with humans that hit your heart is bucket filling. Part of events and entertaining is giving those on the receiving end of the experience all the feels. Elevating the celebration with extra personal touches is chefs kiss. It can be easy, inexpensive and simple. Truly it is the thought and effort that counts.

Still soaking in all that was CAP CITY HALF this week. Seriously, what a morning!! There was just something special and magical about the entire event this year…I think this was my 12th CAP CITY and this one will sit in my heart as the best yet. I didn’t PR but came in two minutes faster than last year. Which I will totally take! I knew a PR was not my goal for this race. So, I mixed up my race plan. I tried running straight for the first 3 miles. Then switching to my normal 3 minute run/1 minute walk interval. The straight run was great, I felt strong and honestly confident. Switching to intervals when I did was just right. My legs did become tired during the back 6 miles. The wind was crazy at times. It made storming up hills a challenge. The last few miles I walked a bit more, off my interval plan…I don’t regret it at all. I hit the finish faster than last year so yep, I will take it. I am glad I tried the straight run. I was curious how my body would handle that. I think for longer distance, I am an interval girl, and will keep to that plan for my next half. I stuck to my mantra of I GET TO…when the pain cave hit, I looked down at my arm, I GET TO. I seriously get to do this, my body is giving me this gift. One foot in front of the other.
HALF #14 COMPLETE.
SNACKS AND SIPS OF THE WEEK
PRE RACE FUELING
My go to pre race snack is a bagel and a banana. I am usually not super hungry first thing in the morning. However, I know my body needs some carbs before I ask it to do all the miles I am planning. It’s super simple. I don’t even toast the bagel. Sometimes I add peanut butter to it. Most of the time, I eat it plain.
PRE RACE SIPS
Pre race sips are layered for me. I drink 8oz of water right when I get up in the morning. Kicks off hydration after 8ish hours of sleep. I then grab a 12oz cup of coffee-that caffeine is a great kick start to what I have ahead.
ADULT BEVIES
As I have written about before-nothing hits better after a race than a mimosa from Cameron Mitchell Events in VIP. I seem to crave sweets post run. A splash of orange juice with a whole lot of bubbles is chef’s kiss! Cheers to 13.1!
MORE THAN MY SPORT
I said this before. The connections made through sport are special. Sometimes they hit the heart more than the sport itself. That was my CAP CITY HALF, more than the 13.1, more than my feet pounding the pavement. It was the hugs, smiles, conversations, high fives and lots of laughter. That was the true magic of the day. It was seeing friends on the side of the course cheering-friends/family I didn’t expect to see…I stopped and hugged everyone of them. It was seeing my run fam on the course, all of us cheering for each other-pure love and joy. These moments, these humans are a huge part of my why, part of the I GET TO. They keep me coming back for more, their support and friendship will be ever lasting.
THIS WEEK IN WOMEN IN SPORTS HISTORY

ALL THE GEAR
EAR BUDS
I have gone through so many versions of wireless ear buds over the years. Seriously, so many versions!! I really love the open ear version. My favorite has been SHOKZ– my last version, the head band version after years of use broke. I wanted the new non head band design but didn’t want to pay the larger price for them…totally have realized I am hard on them. Spending less on these is super wise for how much I go through them. I finally found a TRAUSI pair on AMAZON. They are light and have good sound. At the time, they were on major sale, like major sale! I paid $35 for an over $200 pair!! WIN WIN WIN!
CAP CITY VIP JACKET
Not gonna lie, each year I look forward to the CAP CITY VIP JACKET! I am a collector of said jacket, year after year…I anticipate the revealing of the design! I wear it on race day, and the day after and maybe even the day after that! You know I love a good gear piece and this one is always a special addition to my closet!

It’s RACE WEEK! Eeeek!! Bring it on Cap City Half! This training cycle has been cold, snowy, icy, windy, rainy, sunny and above all joyful! I GET to do this and on the days that were not ideal, that mantra rang deep in my heart. I dealt with bursitis and tendinitis in my right knee. A first for me. I adjusted my training to rest and heal. Which to be honest was not easy in the beginning -as a self proclaimed overachiever. As I adjusted and leaned into my new norm to heal, I relaxed. I believed in myself. I trusted my training and in the strength of what I have built. I grew to understand how this injury was not a set back but a turning point. I learned that showing myself grace was key to my joy during this training cycle. My body was still giving me what I needed. I could still run. I just had to make a few adjustments and recover better and longer. Here we are race week, one of my most favorite weeks of the year. Toeing that START LINE on Saturday will be a gift. One I never take it for granted. I GET to do this!
RACE DAY CHECK LIST-WHAT I PACK IN MY GEAR CHECK BAG
Oofos for post race recovery
Body Glide
Aquafor
Goodrs
Earbuds
Burts Bees Chapstick
Pair of Sweats
VIP Jacket-usually wear that pre race, take it off before I head to the start line
Hand Held Water Bottle for race-filled with water/Liquid IV, also stocked with race day fuel
SNACKS AND SIPS OF THE WEEK
CHARCUTERIE SNACK PLATE
I love snacking this way. Super simple green grapes, thin pretzels (I love these) and a handful of almonds. If I weren’t lactose intolerant I would totally add cheese cubes to this mix. You can also add salami or pepperoni etc.
COFFEE CONNECTIONS COFFEE BEANS
Marc brought home some of our favorite local roasted coffee beans this week. COFFEE CONNECTIONS HILLIARD does it right, and creates amazing roasted beans. Love being capable of grinding and brewing COFFEE CONNECTIONS at home!
MORE THAN MY SPORT
Celebrating EARTH DAY as I write this. Starting to plan our gardens for the season…one thing I absolutely love doing. There is something really wonderful about the entire experience of being in the garden. About being grounded in the outdoor space that surrounds me. My bare feet in the dirt, the smell of sweet flowers and fresh cut grass. I am grateful for all of earth’s gifts. Simple and easily taken for granted, especially through harsh winter months. This is my happy time of year. It’s a time of rebirth when everything awakens. Browns turn into colors that resemble a Monet painting. I truly love being in my gardens, there is something so healing and peaceful within it all. HAPPY EARTH DAY this week-soak in everything our planet has to offer.
THIS WEEK IN WOMEN IN SPORTS HISTORY
- U.S. Women’s Hockey:The United States defeated Canada in overtime to win the 2025 IIHF World Championship, marking their 10th gold medal in the event.
- Boston Marathon (1980):Rosie Ruiz was disqualified after winning the women’s division, as it was later discovered she did not actually run the race.
- Track & Field:Tamara Dorval of American University set a new school record in track, earning her the Gregorio’s Trattoria Student-Athlete of the Week award.
- NCAA Gymnastics:Oklahoma won the 2025 NCAA Gymnastics Championship title, defeating teams like Utah, UCLA, and Missouri.
ALL THE GEAR
I of course found this sweet bracelet on my social feeds. I had been looking for something I could wear jewelry wise that would symbolize my love for tennis. This was the perfect piece! Tennis racket strings made into a bracelet! I can wear it when I am on the courts, running or in the gym. It is simple and has understated meaning. STRINGLET come in two sizes-I ordered the kid sized (my wrists are tiny, anyone surprised by that?) They also come in a bunch of bright and happy colors! I picked the white, so I can wear it with everything. I will for sure be ordering more! Tennis parents, these would be a great team gift!!
RACE DAY BAG
LOVE this sling bag from SHIRALEAH! It is the perfect size to carry all my race day items. I never want to carry a large tote or backpack-I seriously don’t take that much to fill a large bag. Plus, there will be so many bags in gear check. Consider the gear check space. Think about the other racers and the volunteers who have to organize them all. A small to medium bag is best. I LOVE all the pockets this sling has!! This is one thing I seem to look for in all bags I buy. I also LOVE this bright green color, it comes in a bunch of color choices! With all the bags in gear check, they are marked with bib numbers, etc. A bag that is different than the rest stands out. Its bright color helps the volunteers find my bag quickly. They don’t even need to check for the bib number.

What a weekend for celebrating the gift of sport! Watched a lot of college tennis. Ran the OSU 4 Miler and held high our National Champion Buckeyes. And of course, celebrated Rory’s Masters win. Within each of these experiences, there are stories of resilience. Stories of never giving up, no matter the chatter. There are stories of performing with heart, of being in total awe of doing what is loved. Stories of great fight with everything to make dreams reality. Ahhhh this weekend was filled with it all!
SNACKS AND SIPS OF THE WEEK
COTTAGE CHEESE AND STRAWBERRIES
Super simple and protein packed. Love cottage cheese with strawberries as a quick snack. I am lactose intolerant and have missed cottage cheese so much! Have searched for a non dairy option, that actually tastes like the real thing. Finally found it! Surprisingly, it is not a fancy brand. It is simple and pretty accessible at GIANT EAGLE where we shop-LACTAID Cottage Cheese!
ICED LATTE
Now that Spring is here I am gravitating towards iced latte’s. My go to is always the VANILLIA LATTE with ALMOND MILK. COFFEE CONNECTIONS HILLIARD makes an amazing iced latte and is my absolute fav coffee shop to pop in to.
ADULT BEVIES
POST RACE MIMOSA
There is truly something just right about a post race mimosa! CAMERON MITCHELL PREMIER EVENTS knows how to make them-lots of bubbles and a splash of orange juice. Chefs kiss!
MORE THAN MY SPORT
Thinking deeply about friendship/sisterhood these days. As athletes we are more than opponents, teammates etc. Through sport, we develop bonds that others may not understand. The journey we experience is something we get from athlete to athlete. It is a commonality that the outside world doesn’t have the gift of experiencing.
The bonds we create over the miles, during practices, wins, defeats are unlike any other. Hold tight to those relationships-they are special. These connections will last through it all, they are important and hold more than memories. They hold part of your story and this sisterhood will understand how sweet and sacred that is.
THIS WEEK IN WOMEN IN SPORTS HISTORY
On April 14, 2018, NPR reported on Abdul-Qaadir, a Muslim basketball player who holds the state record for the highest all-time high school scorer for men and women. She played for the University of Memphis and was the first Muslim woman in a headscarf to play NCAA Division I.
The week of April 14th also sees the 39th annual National Girls & Women in Sports Day, hosted by the Women’s Sports Foundation. The day is a celebration of women’s sports and the impact they have on society.
ALL THE GEAR
These are my favs! The absolute best in recovery for your feet! Whatever sport you play, these are your answer to happiness post activity! I own multiple pairs. The slides are my favorite as I can wear barefooted or with socks. FLEET FEET COLUMBUS carries OOFOS in many different styles and colors.
An essential part of my running routine, especially when wearing skirts. This BODY GLIDE is amazing and is the anti chafe answer! Use it anywhere you chafe and you will not be sorry.
COACHES CORNER
I LOVE THIS:
Mirror Mirror on the wall,
I’ll always get up after I fall.
And whether I run, walk or have to crawl,
I’ll set my goals and achieve them all!
Take this with you for the rest of the week and go crush your goals!
