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

Five Running Tips
Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a relaxing day with glorious fall weather. I sure am. We slept in a bit, and then headed to our local park to get some trail miles in. I was a bit fatigued from my tempo run yesterday so I took it easy, enjoyed the changing leaves, and Continue reading

this week #46
Life continues to be busy and I am trying to use any extra time I can to get my life together so that I can sleep as much as possible each night! I do not want to fall off of writing here while I’m managing my time and energy, so I am going to stick 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

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

MMT 100 Recap – Best DNF Yet
Well, I didn’t run the whole 100 miles of MMT – yet again! Dang flabbit! However, I am extremely proud of the progress I made, both mentally and physically, from my 2024 to 2025 attempts. I DNF’d at mile 76, 28 hours into the race as I missed the cutoff into the next aid station! 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

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

Endorphin High!
Yo wazzup! Remember that time I was freaking out about my running? 😉 Well, I mentioned that I should pay more attention to my mile splits and blah blah blah. Today I went on a run and did exactly the opposite. I didn’t track it whatsoever. I just listened to the music on my phone. Continue reading
