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

this week #49
Happy Friday! I am really excited for my weekend ahead. I’ll be running and sleeping and volunteering and our fridge is absolutely full of yummy leftovers. The weather is gorgeous and the trees are turning all shades of orange and yellow and red. Patrick is out of town for the weekend, but I don’t mind Continue reading

this week #45
Good morning and happy Monday! Last week was a busy week. I started my new job, and I got back to running after being sick. Between the two, I was mentally and physically exhausted by the time Friday rolled around. Fortunately, this weekend was extremely fun and restorative (+ we’re getting massages tonight), so I Continue reading

Summer Running Reflections
This has been a whacky summer of running. I’ve been pretty consistent, but also rolling with the punches and adapting when life takes a turn. It has also been the hottest and most humid summer I can remember since moving to Virginia, which sucks and has made running really hard at times. The first half Continue reading

Running… at night!
Kerns and Bird Knob… This weekend’s run was a big one because I had my first true night run! I DNFd the Greenbrier 50 Miler in 2022, a race that started at midnight, after 15 miles, so I have run at night and in the dark but this was my first time really making an Continue reading

Half Formed Thoughts
I’ve had a topic that I’ve wanted to write about all week. It’s been a half formed idea that’s been floating around in my brain since last weekend but, every time I sit down to write, my brain fizzles out and can’t muster up quite enough power to make it happen. Maybe because this week Continue reading

this week #19
Hello and happy Wednesday! I missed doing this last week, but can you blame me? It’s been busy! I ran the Richmond Marathon this weekend with Erica and it was a blast. The weather was truly 10/10. Patrick ran the half marathon in a blazing time of 1:33. I can’t even fathom it! All in Continue reading

A Year of Running
It’s not even November and I already can’t believe all the running I’ve done this year. 2024 really has been the year of races and big running and seeing what my body can do. In the past I’ve stuck with maybe doing one or two races a year and I was never really racing. I Continue reading

Marathon Wednesday
Good morning! I’m sitting in good ole Greg last minute studying for my exam at 9. Honestly, it should be insanely easy, but it’s the first test so YOU NEVER KNOW! Wednesdays are my longest day of the week, but I’m ready. Guys, MY MARATHON IS THIS SUNDAY! My IT band seems to be doing Continue reading

(Why me)T BAND
Two weeks out from my first ever marathon and this is what I’m dealing with. ITBS. Yeah, it sucks. I felt in last week 10 miles into a 23 miler so I cut the run short ASAP. I’ve been letting it chill since then with a few easy runs thrown in during the week — Continue reading
