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

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
Greetings, Tribe! This past Saturday I celebrated another trip around the sun and it just might be one of my favorite birthdays ever!! My day started with running the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon (more about that next week), which was absolutely extraordinary. I finished the race in time to run home, shower, and zoom off to … Continue reading Celebration of Life 2019
Greetings, Tribe! For the last couple of years I contemplated getting a running coach and finally this year I did. I’ve been disappointed with the decline in my race performances, and clearly something had to change. Many moons ago I ran my marathon PR, 3:54:34, and I’ve slowed down ever since. My training would be … Continue reading Hiring a Coach
Greetings, Tribe! My heart is incredibly heavy with this post, but I need to vent… As many of you know, just over a month ago I had to call 911 because of very close gunfire in my neighborhood. Long story short, I wanted on hold for over 25minutes before hanging up. I contacted the sheriff’s … Continue reading 911 update
