    Social Distancing – Frustration

    I think that I have gone the full cycle of emotions with this “Stay at Home” thing. I have been happy, sad, betrayed, scared, exhausted, frustrated and angry. Sometimes all in the span of twenty four hours I can get the full range! I know that I can’t be the only one to feel this…

    Social Distancing – Struggles of an Extrovert

    I know that we are all in this together, and that there are many heated emotions and theories that reflect where we are at this point. I ran my last race before the “Stay at Home Order” on March 14th, it was a 7.77k put on by my favorite racing family, 3W Races – known…

    Marine Corps 50K – In the Books

    Well, I did it! It was a tough course, and I am already planning next year! The travel to Washington DC is always the part that gets me nervous, not what I am going to eat, not getting to the start line, not how much sleep I get the night before… the travel to the…

    Marine Corps 50k is coming up fast – Here’s my game plan/ my little freak out!

    So… I haven’t written anything in about 3 months, I would apologize but sometimes soul searching and dark clouds are a part of life that don’t need to be recorded. I have 33 days until I toe the line of my very first 50k race. Oh MY GOODNESS! It’s really happening. I have a flood…

    What a busy couple of weeks we have had! From training runs to school volunteering, from work to leaving on vacation! Let’s start with the Spring Fling Prairie Dog 1/2 Marathon put on by my favorite race company (and run family) 3W Races. Let’s just say that this race didn’t go as planned. My planned…

    My Spiritual Fueling

    When I first started running – I had no clue of what I was doing. I had probably the wrong shoes, the wrong attire – all I knew, is that I loved the way it felt to finish one mile, then 2 miles, and oh my goodness, 6 miles! I had ear buds in to…

    Practice Kindness

    Everyone has an opinion. There I said it. Whether it’s about eating right, training, raising kids, where to live, politics, death or life in general everyone is different. “Every person has a different view of another person’s image. That’s all perception. The character of a man, the integrity, that’s who you are.” ~ Steve Alford…

    “It snowed today, Daddy.”
