Don't be dumb in the first half, don't be a wimp in the second
Get it?! Like a picture is worth 1000 words?! So like, The Bear 100 turned into The Bear 1000?! Well, at least I laugh at my jokes. Crewing for Matt is always extremely fun, even though he never believes me that I have fun. This time was my first time solo crewing, and just before... Continue Reading →
I signed up for this race almost as soon as it was announced. I thoroughly enjoyed the Bear Mountain 50k in 2016, and was ready to jump up to the 50 miler. My "big race" of the year was supposed to be the Gorge Waterfalls 100k out in Portland, and this was going to be... Continue Reading →
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, life has been super boring and uneventful. LOLJK! So much has happened in even just April, I don't even know where to start. Why don't I start with the least exciting thing, which is that my cysts are gone and I'm cleared to run! (The fact that this... Continue Reading →
I sat down with the intention of writing a race recap for the Hyannis Marathon, and I just can't bring myself to do it. To sum it up, it went better than I had ever imagined it could. I was shooting for sub-4, and surpassed that goal by running a 3:50:24. I felt... Continue Reading →
After a week and half of resting post ruptured-ovarian cyst, I had a nice, full week of training last week. I ended up being slightly shy of my goal for the week, but made the decision that going from 9 miles in a week to 50 the next might be a bit much. I started out... Continue Reading →
I started writing this blog post 2 weeks ago and here I am now, finally posting it. Life has been a little crazy, but more on that in another post later. For now, a recap of my first few weeks of Gorge Waterfall 100k training! I officially started my training block for the Gorge Waterfalls... Continue Reading →
I know I'm a little late to the game here since it's already 2017, but hey, better late than never, right? 2016 was a whirlwind of a year for me both athletically and professionally. I ended my career as a nanny and decided to branch out into a new field I had no experience in,... Continue Reading →
I know I've been off the blogosphere recently, and it's taken me a while to figure out why. Honestly, the past 2 months or so of running have been going... really, really well. Like so well that I've been nervous to write about it in fear that I'll jinx it. But enough is enough - it's been too long since... Continue Reading →
The past few weeks have just been me getting back into it after some toenail issues. After my last blog post in August, I realized my toenail was bothering me again. Instead of waiting until it got really bad, I went right back to the podiatrist and asked her to just permanently remove that portion... Continue Reading →
With the fanfare and elation of Vermont 100 starting to wear off, I am doing my best to mentally shift from my summer goal race to what is coming up this fall. Without a doubt, Grindstone will be much more of a challenge, climbing and descending 23,000+ feet over its 101 miles. For reference, that... Continue Reading →
