My awesome coach has me doing shorter distances this spring, with the mission of running them faster. It was, and still … Continue reading Love Struck 5k
Greetings, Tribe! At the end of 2023, a friend asked me what my word was for 2024. I haven’t done a word for the year in a while, but I liked the inspiration to do so for this year. It took about 6 weeks of pondering and then it hit me: Nourish If I’m being … Continue reading Nourish
Greetings, Tribe! If you know me even a little, you know I’m obsessed with snow. I would have a personal flurry (Frozen reference) if that was possible. In Indy, we no longer have winters and are lucky enough to get one good snowstorm a season, so I’m generally starved for my snow!!! Therefore, we take … Continue reading Colorado, January 2024
Greetings, Tribe! The year started a bit slow, as I found myself with the worst plantar fasciitis I have ever experienced. After finally caving, I now have custom orthotics and can run in my typical fashion again… From January 1 – December 31, 2023 , I ran 1572 miles. These miles were run through… In … Continue reading 2023 – Review in Sport
Greetings, Tribe! Long time no see! With the new year fast approaching, I’m looking at goals and new habits for myself. One is doing more journaling. I’ll explain further in a future post, but I think in addition to putting pen to actual paper, I’m going to return to blogging. Not sure what I’m going … Continue reading Testing 1, 2 3
Greetings, Tribe! Yesterday I celebrated my 40th birthday. *cleansing breath* Yes, 40. I do subscribe to the notion that age is just a number, it just feels like a lot when 2 digits of that number change all at once. They say you gain confidence in your 40’s, that you’re more sure of yourself. I’m … Continue reading 40 and Feelin’ Fine
Greetings, Tribe! I’m pleased to announce that on November 20, 2021 I celebrated 4 years of running every single day. It all started as a way to keep myself running through the holidays. To not get out of shape and to stay motivated. The goal was to run every day from Thanksgiving through New Years. … Continue reading Streaking and Dashing
Every year since I turned 30 (except last year, of course), I have hosted a “Celebration of Life” for my birthday. This is my way of thanking those friends whom I cherish so dearly, and who were so important in making my last year so meaningful. This year I had the most extraordinary group of … Continue reading Celebration of Life 2021
Greetings, Tribe! I made it to the marathon!!!!!! The expo was unreal! Usually we walk right in and get our packet, but this year was different. We stood in a line for over 30minutes, winding throughout most of one floor of McCormick Place just to get our COVID-19 vaccination cards checked. Once into the expo, … Continue reading Chicago Marathon Part 2: The Race
Greetings, Tribe! You may have noticed that I haven’t written in a while. To be honest, it’s been a rough summer of training and I was just plain overwhelmed and focused on getting through one day at a time. (Warning: what you’re about to read might get a bit graphic) While most of my runs … Continue reading Chicago Marathon Part 1: Training
