THIS IS MY RUNNING JOURNEY
let me help you start yours
Home: Welcome
Exploring the world with your own 2 feet
Running has allowed me to explore and experience so many different landscapes. From the rocky coastlines of Maine to the deserts of Nevada, I love it all. The local woods feel like a second home to me. I'm so grateful I have the ability to move in the awe-inspiring outdoors. Super thankful for the role running has played in my family life.
​
Heartfelt thanks to Dan O'Brien for letting me use his original music, "Domestic Bliss" for this video. Mary Phillipuk created the video- thank you, Mary, I appreciate you! A final thank you to Aaron Burt for chasing me around Mountain Lakes for the running footage.

2024: year of the kitties
I’ve always known that I’m a sucker for cute furry animals and have resisted having any since I didn’t want them tying me down. However,...
looking for your first road ultra? sign up for the PPTC 50K or 50 miler.
Here it is. The end of 2024 and I managed to squeak in an ultra. With life and work being as busy as they are, as much as it hurt my...
at least I can still run and drink coffee
I feel numb, confused and anxious. Is this really happening? I haven't really felt this way since the pandemic. The feeling is surreal,...
sorry, it's a boring climbing post (but it's a little bit about running too)
Typically, I'm lucky if I get outside to climb twice a year. I'm sitting here in August and I've already been outside climbing in 3 new...
2023 wrap-up
It has been quite a year. Running was put on the back burner, not intentionally, but that's what happens when life happens. I feel like...
climb, pet kitties, eat, repeat
For the last few months, running has taken a back burner to climbing. Of course, I've been on climbing trips before, but never for more...
ultra-fit, sort of
It has been a really strange few weeks. Never in my adult life have I had so much freedom. I'm transitioning to a start-up venture...
2022 adventuring wrap up
It's hard to believe that another year has come and gone. It's been a heck of a year. So many changes and so much gratitude for two huge...
focus or fun?
It has been kind of a weird fall for me. With no big hairy audacious goal, my running has been steady, but I'm not sure if I'm making any...
OCC OMG
Just Wow. I still feel like I'm having an out of body experience. Like I've found an alternate universe where it's just normal to be an...
making friends with the dreadmill
The passage of time feels so much faster when I'm in the middle of a training block. I can hardly believe that I'm already almost 3/4 of...
on the hamster wheel
In both training and life, there are moments where it feels like you've hopped onto a hamster wheel and it's going to be a long time...
so far away, yet so close
Here it is, 20 weeks out until OCC. If I think too far in advance about all that has to happen in those 20 weeks, it's overwhelming....

Ok, that's cheesy, but I saw it on a bumper sticker on my drive from Moab back to Salt Lake City and found it to be true. What can I say?...
behind the rocks 30K
I'm in that post-race state of euphoria at the moment. I came out to Moab for this race and I finished! I have no idea where I placed...
best seat in the world
I'm out in Moab for the Behind the Rocks race and I can easily see why people come here and never leave. It's a playground for the...
i caught a chicken
And then I threw it back into the wrong chicken yard. I was so proud of myself. There was this one lone chicken that kept getting out for...
4 weeks out until behind the rocks 30K
Last week, it suddenly dawned on me that I only had 5 weeks left to train for the Behind the Rocks 30K. I checked out the course map and...
whirlwind week
This week has been a doozy, in the best way. It all actually started about 18 months ago when I started volunteering at this organic...
