It's been a hot minute since I wrote a race recap! My last race was my 40th marathon in 2018. Yikes. It has been quite the year to say the least. Titletown Ultra Series holds a special place in my heart, it was my 1st ultra race. It still gives me that warm fuzzy feeling... Continue Reading →
I started this post to write a race recap, but quickly it evolved into something else. To be real and totally transparent I lost my groove after the Cellcom Marathon.

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'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 →
