My whole running world changed in 2020. I ran my last in person race right before the start of the COVID-10 pandemic. I didn't run an in-person race again until Crim 2021. In between all of that, I did a lot of virtual races and my own personal challenges, and I also faced a lot… Continue reading My 2022 Running Year in Review

Race Recap: 2022 Detroit Free Press Marathon Races
The short & sweet version of this race recap: I participated in "The Wonder" Challenge (1 mile and 5k on Saturday, international half marathon on Sunday) at the 2022 Detroit Free Press Marathon races this weekend with my friend Katelyn. My hubby came along for the journey and was an amazing race photographer and cheerleader,… Continue reading Race Recap: 2022 Detroit Free Press Marathon Races
A New Baseline
The last couple of years have been challenging, to say the least. I can't think of many people who can look back on 2020 to now and say, "Oh yeah, no hard times at all, definitely all good." Besides a global pandemic that completely uprooted most of our lives, many folks, me included, had other… Continue reading A New Baseline
Race Recap: Corktown Races 2022
At the beginning of this year, my friend Kendra decided that she wanted to do her first half marathon in 2022, and she wanted to actually train for it this time. This idea came with wanting to run some other races during the year, the first one being Corktown Races in Detroit for St. Patrick's… Continue reading Race Recap: Corktown Races 2022
146 Recipes in 365 Days
Last year I came up with an idea to cook through an entire cookbook over the course of the year. Unfortunately, I never came up with a plan to tackle this big goal, nor was I inspired at all to use any particular cookbook to make it happen. This year I shared that I wanted… Continue reading 146 Recipes in 365 Days
Race Recap: Winterlaufe 2022
100 races. Back in 2008, when I ran my first three 5k races, the idea of running 100 races was not even on my radar. In fact, I took a break from running after those first three races, a break that lasted from 2008 until 2012. Even then, I had no goals of running streaks… Continue reading Race Recap: Winterlaufe 2022
One Month Down, 11 to Go…
There’s a meme that goes around this time of year with a pie chart of all of the months of the year. It is titled “How Time Passes in Michigan”. All of the slices of the pie are fairly equal (the summer months are the smallest and they get bigger as they get closer to… Continue reading One Month Down, 11 to Go…
A New Year, A Fresh Start
It is officially a brand new year, and like always, I am looking forward to a fresh start. I know that you don't need a new year, a new month, a new week, or even a new day to get started. It's hard not to want to start on something new at this time of… Continue reading A New Year, A Fresh Start
Goals for 2021 vs. Goals for 2022
I looked back on my Goals for 2021 posts on this blog when I sat down to write this. The first entry I read, I talked about training for the Little Rock Marathon. It felt like I had been slapped in the face. It seems impossible that less than 365 days ago I was planning… Continue reading Goals for 2021 vs. Goals for 2022
