I’m going to start this race report with two lists. First, a list of lessons I learned. We’re all here for the takeaways, right? Don’t trust people who tell you races are flat. Always wear sunscreen.

Wow, February, there you went. SO SHORT. My total mileage wasn’t super high this month because a) there weren’t that many days and b) I raced twice and we backed mileage down for both.

My goal race wasn’t enough of a priority — and I think some of that is being too comfortable with Monumental. As I was concluding I wasn’t running a... Continue Reading →

Cool things that happened: Placed second at the Carmel Marathon and almost tied my PR in not-great conditionsSet a new women’s course record at the Backside Trail Half Marathon and won two other half marathons all in...

My friend Kaci, left, and I living our best sloth lives this month. Boy, December, you are always a hot mess. Kudos to every runner out there who stuck with any semblance of a plan this month. At the beginning of December we went on a mini family vacation which actually was a good running... Continue Reading →
It's an honor to be part of Today's Woman magazine's January issue! I got to tell some of my marathon journey and the photo shoot was a ton of fun. It's also great to see a lot of other Baptist Health/Milestone Wellness Center people in the issue, like Alison, Debbie, Maggie, Stephanie, Lisa and Maria!... Continue Reading →
