February 2017 Update
February 14, 2017 by 6 Comments
How is it already February 2017? Mid-February at that! I swear, it is getting harder and harder to carve out space to sit down and write out my thoughts on my blog these days. Don’t get me wrong. Life is full. Full of wonderful things like digging into a training plan {finally!}, spending time with family and friends, and spending lots of time at my wonderfully fulfilling and equally exhausting job. Yet, life is also full of uncertainty. I feel {Read More}

February 1, 2017 by 6 Comments
The ZOOMA Women’s Race series is one of the very first races that took me on as an ambassador in 2012. It’s pretty hard to believe that this blog is quickly approaching its 5th birthday! And, ZOOMA Annapolis is approaching it’s 10th birthday! So far, I participated in the ZOOMA Annapolis Half marathon three times and the 10k for the first time this past June. Since I didn’t recap my 2016 race, I thought I would share why I believe it’s {Read More}
Goodbye 2016
December 31, 2016 by Leave a Comment
It’s hard to believe that the year is coming to a close. Yet, I’m happy to say goodbye 2016. This year was filled with the loss of a loved one that impacted me in more ways that I would like to admit. And, our family moved to Kansas to take on new jobs. This led to the other significant loss of leaving behind our home in West Point and the family and friends nearby. Yet, with loss, comes new experiences. As {Read More}

The Magic of Running with My Daughter!
October 26, 2016 by 34 Comments
Apple picking and hayrides, visiting the Metropolitan Museum, or snagging a picture with a princess at Disney surely bring smiles to the face of a child. Yet, one of the most wonderful ways I get to see my daughter smile, the big, goofy, toothless, ear to ear smile, is while running. Part of me always hoped that she would have an interest in running together. Yet, I never expected it to start so soon. I Love Running with My Daughter! Back in {Read More}
How to Plan Your Race Calendar: The 5 W’s and a Peek into 2017
October 21, 2016 by 22 Comments
As in life, there are seasons to running and racing. In 2016, running took a back seat as I only participated in two races. For me, that is an incredibly low number, especially compared to my #runalltheraces years of 2012 and 2013! Since I am now feeling pretty settled in Kansas, I figured it was high time to start planning my 2017 race calendar. Moving to a new area makes planning a race schedule a little tricky with all of {Read More}

Blogging? Running? Where this space stands.
September 14, 2016 by 7 Comments
Once upon a time, I ran a blog on a regular basis. Yep, all kidding aside, this move to Kansas has kicked me in the pants in more ways that I probably would like to admit. First off, blogging has certainly taken a back seat. I thought about stopping the blog and social media but it is really hard for me to step away from it completely. I really am still amazed by how many amazing people I have connected {Read More}
