Greetings, Tribe! Controversial perspective: 2020 wasn’t all bad! Sure, my grandfather passed and we couldn’t honor him properly because of COVID-19 restrictions. Our country had some major turmoil on several fronts. I was VERY under-employed for several weeks. My marathons were all cancelled/postponed. I was injured this Fall and had to severely cut back my … Continue reading 2020 Wasn’t THAT Bad!
Greetings, Tribe! I’ve always wanted to be in a book club, but who has the time? Where do you even find such a thing?! So, I started one. I messaged a few friends and voila! Let’s be honest, I didn’t really have a plan. Taking turns selecting a book to read seemed like a good … Continue reading Book Club 2020
Greetings, Tribe! I’m baaack! Thought that it was time to return to the blog. I always found it to be therapeutic and a great way to reflect on my journey… Today I celebrate running every day for 3 years. That’s 1096 (leap year) days of running at least 1 mile a day. Some were fast, … Continue reading 3 Year (and counting) Run Streak
Greetings, Tribe! This Spring I was stoked to run two marathons and knock off two more states from my 50 State Marathon goal. Yeah, that didn’t happen. The Tobacco Road Marathon in North Carolina cancelled this year entirely and gave us entries for next year’s race (very generous!) and the Brookings Marathon in South Dakota … Continue reading Running During the Time of Corona
Greetings, Tribe! I continue to read about people trying to keep everything as close to normal during this crazy time of quarantine, but I’m finding that impossible. As a result, I’m exploring the kitchen. Trying new recipes and tweaking old ones. First, was Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Nice Cream. Super easy: in your blender toss … Continue reading Corona Kitchen Part 1
Greetings, Tribe! As you know, I’m working towards being a Health Coach. Through the program I’m working with, they recommend a cleanse. This cleanse is meant to help determine what foods we might be sensitive to and to just plain reset our eating habits. Being the good student that I am, I decided to give … Continue reading Reset Cleanse
Greetings, Tribe! I took a little break from blogging to focus on my family and the holidays, but now I’m back!! 2019 my theme was “No Excuses.” I decided that I was tired of making excuses as to why every race I ran was not the outcome I had desired. To always finish disappointed was … Continue reading 2019: No Excuses, 2020: Dream a Little and Dreams Will Be
Greetings, Tribe! I’m pleased to announce that the traditions continue. As usual, I had the opportunity to work at the Drumstick Dash expo and race for our local running store, Athletic Annex. The Drumstick Dash is one of my favorite races of the year. It’s a perfect distance for all ability levels, 2.75 or 4.6 … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2019
Greetings, Tribe! Past week I celebrated 2 years of running every single day. Some days were just 1 mile, while others were 26.2. Some days were pretty zippy while others were practically a shuffle, some days I ran alone and others I ran with over 30,000 people. Nonetheless, I ran 730 days in a row. … Continue reading 2 Year Run Streak (and counting)
Greetings, Tribe!! I’m still on a high from the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon. It may have been a week ago, but I am on cloud nine! My goal for the race was to check off another state from my 50 State Marathon goal and to just enjoy the day, to not really push myself. Standing at … Continue reading Indianapolis Monumental Marathon
