My Interview with “Badwater” Finisher: Cory Reese

September 2, 2016March 9, 2017

Let’s just say my interest in ultra running is officially piqued and Cory Reese is one of the reasons why.   Although I might not be ready to bite off training for an ultra distance quite yet, I jumped at the chance to sit down with a local ultra runner, who had just completed Badwater. … Continue reading My Interview with “Badwater” Finisher: Cory Reese

The Parowan Half Marathon 2016

August 12, 2016March 9, 2017

The thunder shook my house, in fact, it woke me up just before my alarm was set to go off at 3:15 am.  My sleepy and slow senses began to calculate the impact of the torrential downpour that accompanied the rumbling.  Pouring rain on a race day always reminds me that there are worse things … Continue reading The Parowan Half Marathon 2016

Summer Running Essentials

July 21, 2016March 9, 2017

Sweating Definition:  To exude sweat As in “She was sweating profusely.” Oh thank you Merriam Webster for that succinct and yet somehow pungently descriptive sentence. Yes, it’s summer and I don’t know about you, but we are sweating our way through July.  Our high here in St. George?  It’s about 110.  Our low?  80.  My garage, where … Continue reading Summer Running Essentials

The Kindness of Strangers

July 13, 2016March 9, 2017

I have the coolest running story to share with you! My friend Crystal is the one in the middle with the cute pink shorts (Lululemon).  When I first read about this experience on her Facebook page I was amazed and even got a little choked up. One of her friends commented that is was a … Continue reading The Kindness of Strangers

Seattle Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon Recap

July 7, 2016

Joan Jett, in true rocker spirit, famously said “I love rock ‘n roll,”  and with her raw guitar chords, 80’s mullet, and black eyeliner, you knew she meant it. If ever running and rock intersected then that was the kind of party I didn’t want to miss.  So when my Dad asked if I wanted … Continue reading Seattle Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon Recap

Running on Vacation

June 27, 2016June 28, 2016

Whoever said, “I only need a six month vacation twice a year,”  was a wise, wise person.  There is nothing quite like a vacation to allow the mind, body, and soul (cheesy but true) to reset, especially when the getaway includes sun, sand, and surf.  Last January my parents invited me and my little family … Continue reading Running on Vacation

A Marathon Reveal and a Running Resume

May 27, 2016

I literally had to move to St. George to finally be able to run the marathon.  Prior to moving here (we moved from the Seattle area), I had applied twice and wasn’t selected either time, so I still get nervous when registration opens.  I cross my fingers, double check my address (I always want to … Continue reading A Marathon Reveal and a Running Resume

Marathon Lessons

May 21, 2016May 21, 2016

  There is a learning curve to every facet of our lives and it’s amazing how quickly we learn when we have to.  Motherhood was like that; our short but anxious drive home from the hospital holding my daughter’s tiny hand left me wondering, can I really do this?  My first year of teaching was … Continue reading Marathon Lessons

Mt. Charleston Race Recap

May 13, 2016May 17, 2016

I love the quote, “If Plan A fails, remember there are 25 more letters.” Mt. Charleston, part of the Revel Race Series, was Plan B. Before going to Boston my husband and I had a long talk, I was deep in taper trauma and having one of those “what-if” meltdowns: what if it’s too hot, … Continue reading Mt. Charleston Race Recap

Much Ado About Boston

April 29, 2016April 29, 2016

Boston was buzzing with excitement; the city and the people have an enthusiasm and energy for marathons unmatched by any other venue I’ve ever experienced .  They welcome the marathon runners with open arms,  generously allowing us to all feel like “Bostonians” for one day. Here are a few more pictures about my third Boston … Continue reading Much Ado About Boston
