With how many races I have run over the years, you would think it would be difficult for me to choose my favorite race. But hands down, Crim is it. This year was my 5th year in a row running this race and it was another incredible year! Each year has its own special memories, … Continue reading Race Recap: Crim 10 Miler 2019
Here we are, halfway through August, and I am just getting around to writing my July training recap. I also am realizing that I have slacked on updating my blog lately.

As I sit here on my first day of my long weekend and reflect on June, I am realizing... wow. It was a busy month!

After accomplishing a couple of incredible PRs in the half marathon distance, I decided to "seek discomfort" (as my friend Katelyn puts it) and push to get a 10k PR. The 10k is my least favorite race distance. It is too short to take it easy, and a long distance to go all out. It … Continue reading Race Recap: Greater Midland Dow RunWalk 10k 2019
April ended with a bit of a weird feeling that hung around for a while in May. May was a busy month between doing a run streak, training to beat my 10k PR, and having fun in my social life. So although I'm a little disappointed that I did not do any blogging last month, … Continue reading April & May 2019 Training Recap
It has been 3 weeks since the Glass City Owens Corning Half Marathon and I am still struggling to write this recap.

I know February is the shortest month, but it really seemed to fly by this year. It was another month of extreme winter weather here in Michigan, but fortunately my friends and I found a safe and clear outdoor path to run many of our miles! We still recorded a lot of indoor miles, but … Continue reading February 2019 Training Recap

I started 2018 with a few running goals in mind. I wanted to run my third marathon and I wanted to run it in less than 6 hours. I wanted to run/walk 1000 miles total in the year, which was a pretty lofty goal considering I had done just 835 in 2017. I wanted to … Continue reading My 2018 Running Year in Review
