It’s been a while… hasn’t it! I hope everyone has been doing well during my absence. I’ve been reading blogs here and there, but I really haven’t had the urge to write, until now. I don’t know if I am back back, but I am relatively back. A lot has changed since the last timeContinue reading “Long time, no see!”

Chicago Training Update
I hate writing training recaps, so I am going to make this one short and sweet. Training for Chicago has been really up and down for me. Unlike the near linear progression I had during Colfax, Chicago has been one step forward, two steps back. Although the training has been hard, I did have aContinue reading “Chicago Training Update”
A bump in the road to Chicago
Did anyone watch Olympic trials last night for the women’s 800 m? It was insane! A crazy fall resulted in a wild shake-up and an unlikely champion. If you haven’t seen it, you should watch the video! So… my training… A lot has happened this past week and I should probably go back to myContinue reading “A bump in the road to Chicago”
Chicago Marathon Training: Week 3
Alright guys… I have just been a horrible blogger lately. This week, my goal is to remedy that a bit. Despite my lack of blogging about running, I have been running a lot. Maybe even a little too much (IT band made itself known yesterday, so I am backing off). But, even with some squirrellinessContinue reading “Chicago Marathon Training: Week 3”
Chicago Marathon Training
Today begins the 2nd week of my training for the Chicago Marathon. What happened to the 1st week? Well… due to traveling back from Europe, insane jetlag, and tiredness… I took the entire 1st week off. That may sound like a weird thing to do when training for a marathon, but for me, it wasContinue reading “Chicago Marathon Training”
Life After Colfax
My race photos are in!!!! This one is pretty good. I look unbelievably tired, but I think this was taken at like Mile 21 or 22. Oh, and they caught the high-5 between Dan and I at the end. Colfax is done… so what now? Well, I don’t really have the post-race blues. I didn’tContinue reading “Life After Colfax”
Life Update!
Hey everyone!! I have been pretty bad at blogging this week… it’s just cause I’ve been crazy busy. Training is going great though, and I am still marching my way towards the starting line at Denver. The end of this week marks the half way point of this cycle, and although I am feeling likeContinue reading “Life Update!”
Happy Wednesday! I am signed up for Colfax!

I am a ways away from the day, BUT I am already starting toContinue reading “Happy Wednesday! I am signed up for Colfax!”
Gone with the old and in with 2016!
Hey everyone! I hope you all had a fun and safe holiday with your family. I have been gone for quite a while and I missed the running community a lot. I am back in Kansas again (finally!) after traveling pretty much all over our hemisphere. After Utah I left for Virginia for a weekContinue reading “Gone with the old and in with 2016!”
When Marathons Don’t Happen
On October 11, I was supposed to become a marathon runner. I was supposed to cross that finish line and be spending this week feeling sore and triumphant. Unfortunately, it didn’t really happen that way. I spent most of the day looking at my phone, checking Instagram and wishing that I were there. However, asContinue reading “When Marathons Don’t Happen”
