Ramblings of a girl who runs a lot of miles and drinks a lot of coffee.
I have worked with my endurance coach, Eric, for over two years now. I originally sought out a coach in December of 2017 after a recommendation from my chiropractor. I had spent a lot of 2017 injured from over training, but I had earned my spot at my first Boston Marathon that coming April and... Continue Reading →
It is hard for me to believe we are almost at the end of 2019. This time of year is often my favorite because it is a chance to set new goals for the new year. But I never look ahead without first reflecting on the past. The good and the bad. I set goals... Continue Reading →
Moving somewhere you have never even visited before is scary. I am actually still surprised I did something like this. I packed my life into three suitcases, got on a plane by myself and traveled for 20 hours to a new home. It wasn't like me to make such a big jump, but I guess... Continue Reading →
I love a good book recommendation. Most of what I read comes recommended from someone I know. And I want to share what I have read this year in case you want some recommendations too! I have always loved to read. My Mom got me involved with the local library at a young age and... Continue Reading →

But I'll try. Let's start with the decision to run this race. It might have seemed last minute (it... Continue Reading →
This post has been sitting as a draft in the form of notes on my phone for about a month. I feel like I haven't sat down to take a breath in awhile. I haven't blogged much. And I haven't really shared my training as much I used to. But something I keep thinking about... Continue Reading →
What a day. I'll try not to ramble through this blog, but I have lot to say about the Copenhagen Marathon. I originally signed up for this race in October of 2018, fully knowing I would race Boston and intending to run/walk this in May just to see the city. I asked my coach before... Continue Reading →
I raced a half marathon for the first time in over a year on February 23rd, 2019. I'm on a 50 state race quest and I like to use my February birthday as an excuse to travel somewhere new, a bit warmer and run a half marathon. This year I chose Greenville, South Carolina. That... Continue Reading →
