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

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

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
