Titletown Ultra Series 2017 – Recap

Zumbro 50 2017 – Recap

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...

Full Moon 1/2 Marathon 2016 – Recap

I have never run a night race and was thrilled when my friend Katie asked if I would like to join her for this 1/2 in Sheboygan.  Summer in Wisconsin has been sticky and hot so the thought of racing in cooler evening conditions sounded AMAZING!!!  (Too bad that is not how it went, but...

Hot Hilly Hairy 50k 2016 – Recap

The HHH50k holds a special place in my heart. Last year it was my 1st 50k race.  Looking back and reflecting on that race I was so nervous!  I truly had no idea what I was up against and doubted if I could complete 31 miles.  Stepping up to the start line I was a...
