The Ever Elusive Twenty Mile Run

Just as things were ramping up with my marathon training, winding down with triathlon training, and coming to an end with my academics, things took an interesting turn at my new full time job that totally consumed me. I have always misunderstood what people meant by not having the time to pursue a hobby or … Continue reading The Ever Elusive Twenty Mile Run →

“In the first half, don’t be naive. In the last half, don’t be a coward.” Only 26.2 miles to go 💚 Tried to save my legs for the full tomorrow, but still a bit sore. 22.4 miles down, 26.2 miles to go. Only 46% of the way done, meaning $397 left to go. That’s $15/hr. Anyway, that’s enough runners math. If I go to bed now, I can get up at midnight 🙃 9.3 miles = 19% done. Only 39.3 miles and $596 to go. I crossed the start line at 5:38am. The balloon ladies started at 6:03am. If they run 16min/mi until they finish 10k, what pace should I run to finish at the same time? Runners math 🙃 3.1 miles = 6% done = $47. Only 45.5 miles aka $689 to go. Runners’ math just makes sense 🙃 Rang in the new year with a short run…one more work day before Dopey trip begins 💎 Goodbye 2025 ✌️ Grateful to be heading into year 6 as a @bocogear ambassador in 2026. Six years of miles, sweat, community, and showing up exactly as I am. Still running, still learning, still proudly repping gear that keeps up with every adventure ahead. 🏃‍♀️✨ Honored to continue into year 5 as a @stillirun ambassador in 2026. This past year came with real challenges — physically, mentally, and emotionally — and running wasn’t about performance, but about showing up, processing, and finding steadiness again. Grateful for a community that reminds me that healing doesn’t have to be linear, and that every runner belongs. 💚 The Rainbow Bridge says that when we leave this world, the pets we loved greet us again. I hope Kristin found her sweet Fëanor waiting — young, bright, and running straight into her arms. 💛🌈 🐾 Lately 🍂 9 weeks of corporate travel since June, and probably one more to go before the year is up. Loving lazy days ☕️ 📺 🐱 🛋️ 5.5 miles in total today (split AM/PM). Long run tomorrow 🏃🏻‍♀️ Two sessions today Evening treadmill run
