Race Recap: Rock n Roll Chicago Half Marathon 2017
My eighth Rock n Roll race of the year was in Chicago. What an adventure that was! This was the quickest turnaround trip I think I’ve ever done for an out-of-state race. I had a class the morning before my trip that kept me on my toes. After my class was over. It required a bit…

Race Recap: Rock n Roll Seattle Remix Challenge 2017
For the eighth city of the year I headed back to my favorite race city, Seattle! Seeing as though my office is based out of Seattle (well, sort of), I mixed work and fun. I flew in to the city and headed in to the office for some meetings, and then at the end of…

Race Recap: Rock n Roll San Francisco Half Marathon 2017
Stop #3: Sam Clams Disco! I can’t believe I hadn’t done this race sooner. What took me so long to do a race in northern California? I’ve gone up the coast for plenty of work trips, but very rarely for fun trips. Such a travesty…I’ve seen so much under the guise of work, but this was…

This was my first new race destination in quite awhile! It was nice escaping Denver for a long weekend in the nation’s capital.

2016 Retrospective: The Best Thing I Ever Did Was Believe In Myself
2016 was an interesting year, one full of ups and downs. It was filled with lots of love and accomplishments. There were a few low points, but they certainly don’t overshadow all of the high points. I’m grateful to have been able to share my happy moments with my husband, my friends, my parents (when…

Race Recap/Week 25 Dopey Challenge: Whine Not A Marathon 2016
Week 26 was an absolute doozy! It was a finals week for my students, along with a Dopey simulation week. It also happened to be the week of my wedding anniversary. Timelines were squashed on top of one another, so I had to squeeze in my training in some funky ways. We were planning to…

Week 14+15 Dopey Challenge: Train Like a Survivor
Where do I even begin? Week 14+15 started with a quick run in Bear Creek Lake Park here in Denver. It was a quick extra run that I did while Erik was racing with his cross country team. Why have I waited so long to do any trail running here in Denver? Oh right. Women getting…
