Be Kind, Happy, & Active
"Ghosting," to disappear without any an explanation...no phone call, email, text, or social post. The past few months I have faded into the background. A friend (thank you Melissa) reached out recently and called me on it. She noticed I was unusually quiet and wanted to know if everything was ok. I'm embarrassed to... Continue Reading →
"3rd time is a charm" or at least that is what I was hoping for this year as I registered for the Titletown Ultra Series. 3 years ago Titletown was my 1st ultra distance event. That year I ran 28 miles in 6 hours and proudly entered in the ultra club...to say I was hooked... Continue Reading →
I have looked forward to the Apple Creek 50K since I signed up many, many months ago...not because I've heard the course is beautiful (it is) or that the volunteers are awesome (they are), but because I was going to get to hang out with my good friend Allison! We met in person close to... Continue Reading →
Going into this race I brought with me a whole lot of baggage in the form of self-doubt! This was to be my 1st solo event since the Fall 50 in October and I had a pretty disastrous training cycle over the winter. In talking with coach Nora (Team Bird Training) we adjusted my goal...

With the popularity of relay events... Continue Reading →
Just sitting down to write this post brings back a flood of emotions. I have dreamed about completing the Fall 50 for over 5 years, but honestly never thought I was capable of such a huge race. In 2015 I ran the relay with an amazing group of friends one of which mentioned half way... Continue Reading →
You've Got It, I Believe In You, Hangin Tough, Step By Step, and Let's Try Again...running mantras - nope NKOTB songs! So that reference pretty much dates me. I grew up in LOVE with this group and yes they are a regular on my training playlist. For you youngsters this was they were the original... Continue Reading →
Nestled in the heart of Packer Country approximately 15 minutes east half north of the famed Lambeau football field is one of the most unique and well organized races I have participated in over the last few years, the Titletown Ultra Series. This event has all the warm fuzzy feelings of a trail event with... Continue Reading →
I've had my eye on the Lake Michigan Marathon for a few years, but it has fallen on the same weekend as the No Frills event in Minoqua. When I realized that the events were on separate weekends in 2016 I was thrilled! This event fit perfect in my schedule to prepare for the... Continue Reading →
