We need to get rid of the word "only" from our vocabulary. Things are not "only", they just are and the fact that we don't celebrate the hours and focus on the "only"...well that my friend is a big problem! I hear from so many runners (and I'm guilty of it myself) that they are... Continue Reading →
Tips & Tricks – Morning Workouts
Mornings are not my "thing", but I really want them to be. Most of my races start before the sun comes up and recreating that experience in training is crucial, plus mustering the motivation to workout after a long day is never easy. I always have the best intentions to get up early, but more... Continue Reading →
Dances with Dirt Marathon 2017 – Recap
Leading up to race weekend for this event I was reminded just how amazing my Oiselle team is. We all live very different lives with ups and downs, but at the core of what connects us is the true compassion and love we have for each other. The goals we each have are celebrated and...

Titletown Ultra Series 2017 – Recap
"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 →
Cellcom Marathon 2017 – Recap
10 years, 10 pounds, & a lot of living later...I returned to the scene of my very 1st marathon the Green Bay Cellcom.

We met in person close to... Continue Reading →
Lakefront Marathon 2016 – Recap
The Lakefront Marathon holds a special place in my heart. This is an event that I eyed for a very long time before pulling the trigger in 2015 and finally registering for. I will never forget my experience in 2015. The day started out chilly and windy, but the energy of the runners warmed me... Continue Reading →
Fox Cities Half Marathon 2016 – Recap
Fall is a great time to be a runner in WI! There are so many race options that it can be difficult to narrow down which events to register for. Initially I had not planned on running any of the Fox Cities events being that I had the North Face 50k on Sept 17th, but... Continue Reading →
North Face WI Edurance Challenge Series 50k 2016 – Recap
To call myself a newbie in the trail running is an understatement! I am doing my very best to change that. I LOVE the adventure that trail running brings. To be out on single track courses reminds me of high school cross-country. I have never been a super fast runner, but I pride myself on... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
