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've been looking forward the the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon all year! I have a soft spot in my heart for this event...it was my very 1st marathon back in 2007. Last year I ran the 1/2 marathon and it was a disaster, it was hot and I was under trained. Fast forward a year... Continue Reading →
To sit down and write about this event was more difficult than I anticipated. So many emotions and lessons to unpack as I reflected back on the experience. Many of you know I race a lot and many of my events are in preparation for a "big" or goal race. The past few months of... Continue Reading →
I have been asked a few times what I use to fuel and hydrate myself while I train/race. Before I layout my plan please know that I am not an expert...this is what works for me and has been a lot of trial and error (LOTS of error). If you have questions feel free to... Continue Reading →
