Falling Water 100k Race Recap!

You guys, I did it! I rounded out my spring racing season with Falling Water 100k in the beautiful New River Gorge of West Virginia! Long story short, it was super fun and also hard. I had set a random goal of 16 hours and ended up finishing just under 17. I am so good… Continue reading

Happy Monday! Spirits are high, the sun is shining today, and I’m coming off a really fun and beautiful weekend. As I type this, the redbud tree outside our house is blooming with such gorgeously pink flowers, there is a near cloudless sky, and I am going to go on an easy little run later… Continue reading

Hone Quarry 40 Miler Race Recap (2026 Edition)

Another great race weekend in the books! Patrick and I headed out to Harrisonburg on Friday afternoon to gear up for Hone Quarry 40 Miler on Saturday. I did this race last year as a tune up for MMT, so I thought it would work perfectly for the same purpose as I enter my last… Continue reading

Good morning, and happy Sunday! I’m writing to you from the couch. After I finished my run last night, I noticed my throat felt a little sore, but I chalked it up to running in the cold.

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

I have today off, so we had planned to go out to our section of the Tuscarora Trail to do some maintenance, but I think you can understand why we opted to… Continue reading
