Greetings, Tribe! With just under 5 weeks to go, I thought it was time for a marathon training update. Generally speaking, I’ve been logging over 40miles every week. This used to seem impossible, but I actually feel pretty good overall. Some days I’m definitely dragging, but I feel stronger overall. Six months ago, an 8 … Continue reading Chicago Marathon Minus 5 Weeks
Greetings, Tribe! Just over a week ago I ran the Emerald City Half Marathon in Dublin, OH. My coach requested that I run a half marathon as race training for the Chicago Marathon. As I have never run a race to prepare for another race before, I wasn’t sure how this race would be different … Continue reading Emerald City Half Marathon Race Recap
Greetings, Tribe! I know I’ve written endlessly about our trip to France (perhaps because I’m a huge Francophile), but we also spent a couple of days in Germany. Our top priority (Adam’s at least), was to visit as many Biergartens as we could. We made it only to three (rain put a damper on some … Continue reading Munich
Greetings, Tribe! Don’t worry, we definitely did more in France than follow around the Tour de France. Paris When we came up to the street from the Metro underground, I immediately felt at home. A sense of peace washed over me. Our hotel was about as French as they come. They even left us this … Continue reading France, Part Deux
Greetings, Tribe! We checked something off of our bucket list: Le Tour de France! We arrived in Paris, France on Thursday, July 25. Immediately we took the train to Lyon, rented a Peugeot, and headed for the Alpes. Our goal was to catch a mountain stage of Le Tour, so there was no time to … Continue reading Tour de France, France Part 1

When life becomes a bit monotonous, it’s hard to write something worth reading. With marathon training starting today (more … Continue reading I’m Baaaack!!!
Greetings, Tribe! As 2018 came to a close, I took some time to reflect and to look ahead. In doing so, I developed my theme for 2019: Strength. This year I am committing to increasing strength in myself. With my most recent marathon training, I found I was most successful by improving one element at … Continue reading 100 Miles
Greetings, Tribe! As many of you know, I LIVE for our runcations. To pretend for a few weeks that we’re professional runners, sleeping more, eating more, and running at altitude. I wait all year for this trip, and this year was no different. This year, however, I was sick the entire trip. On the flight … Continue reading Runcation 2018
Greetings, Tribe! This time of year has me getting all emotional and reflective. I try not to get all sappy, it seems too cliché, but screw it! I am so freaking blessed. Luck. There’s no such thing, but blessings are real and I have been so fortunate to have been surrounded by many. This year … Continue reading #Blessed
Greetings, Tribe! I can’t believe it has been 2 months since I ran the Chicago Marathon! After taking a week off (read: only running one mile a day for a week) and I got after it again. Originally I had the intention of running a marathon in January, but my heart isn’t in it. While … Continue reading 365 Days
