Be Kind, Happy, & Active
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 →
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 →
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...

"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 →
10 years, 10 pounds, & a lot of living later...I returned to the scene of my very 1st marathon the Green Bay Cellcom. I was told long before I began my long distance adventures that I would never forget my 1st marathon. The day will be forever burned into my brain. Fast forward 10 years... 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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
