It is time to talk goals. The Colfax Marathon is this Sunday. I do not know what wave I am in, but the marathon is not too big and the race starts at 6:00 am, so I should be on the course pretty early. The weather is supposed to be ideal for a marathon. HopefullyContinue reading “Colfax Marathon Goals”

The Gift of a Healthy Life
Mother’s Day is on Sunday (You should probably call your mother that day). I am going to use this as an opportunity to talk about one of the greatest gift my mom gave me: the gift of a healthy lifestyle. When I was about 6-7 years old, my mom embarked on a journey that changedContinue reading “The Gift of a Healthy Life”
Colfax Training Week 16: Taper Week 1 = DONE!
Happy Monday! Congrats to everyone that raced this weekend! I won’t give it away, but I saw on Instagram that a BUNCH of PR’s fell. Great job!!

Free State Trail Race Recap
On Saturday, I ran the Free State Trail Race Half Marathon. It was a pretty tough and technical trail race in Clinton State Park with tons of rocks just waiting to take out some ankles, knees, and anything else you can fall on. Luckily for me, I did not fall! This race was everything IContinue reading “Free State Trail Race Recap”
Colfax Marathon Training Week 14
Thanks everyone who listened to my complaining last week and gave me encouraging words as I was heading into a race week. I spent a lot of my training unsure if maybe something was wrong with my legs or if I was on the verge of an injury. I am still having the extreme soreness,Continue reading “Colfax Marathon Training Week 14”
Colfax Training Week 13: Not the best week
Well… not all weeks are great and that’s ok! And this week was super NOT great. I was tired, I struggled to hit my paces and mileages, and I was just feeling a little over trained. So, I did what you do when your body is saying “I’ve had enough”. I backed off. I cutContinue reading “Colfax Training Week 13: Not the best week”
Thinking Out Loud: 20 thoughts I had running 20 miles
Last week I conquered the 20-mile distance for the first time. It was hard and ridiculous, but I finished it. I still have one more 20-miler left before the taper, but at least I know what to expect now. Since it was such an interesting experience, this week for Thinking Out Loud, I am goingContinue reading “Thinking Out Loud: 20 thoughts I had running 20 miles”
