miles on miles on miles
You guys! I am tapering!!! Wahoo! I can’t believe Rim to River is a few short weeks away. I’ve spent this training cycle trying to be as low key as possible about this race to ensure I didn’t freak myself out. I had such success this spring being so low maintenance about all my races,… Continue reading

a very great weekend of running
I am happy to report that I had a much needed, confidence boosting weekend of training! If it hasn’t been obvious enough on the blog, I have been whine whine whining about training throughout the summer.

Cabin Fever 50k Recap!
Good evening from a very snowy Arlington! I am freshly showered and lounging in bed, very much intending on falling asleep early tonight. We’re closing out a very fun, whirlwind week of travel and big running, and I am pooped. In a good way! Yesterday was the Cabin Fever 50k in New River Gorge National… Continue reading

2025 Richmond Marathon Recap
What a weekend! Another successful Richmond Marathon in the books: I PR’d by 14 minutes! With my recent 50k, that makes two PRs in two weeks. I’m stoked. My previous marathon PR was Richmond last year. I ran 4:38:10 and 4:41:11 for the course (I did not run the tangents, so it came to 26.48… Continue reading
