On Saturday I finally decided to run a road race after taking about 2 months away from racing to recover from the Boston Marathon and Ragnar Zion. The Hogback Hustle is a local 5k named after the Hogback mountain range, which actually caught fire 5 days before this race. Before the race I set a… Continue reading Hogback Hustle 5K (21:23)

Exploring Utah & Ragnar Zion Trail Relay
Sometime before I officially moved to Colorado I was invited to run a Ragnar trail relay in Utah with my friend Tiff and 6 of her friends. I had only been to Utah once before when I visited Zion National Park with a friend in 2013. I've always wanted to go back and explore more… Continue reading Exploring Utah & Ragnar Zion Trail Relay
The Boston Marathon Part 2: Running the marathon and all of the thoughts I had before, during, and after the race
SEE PART 1 HERE I signed up to run the Boston Marathon this past September after unknowingly qualifying at the Philadelphia Marathon in November of 2015. I wasn't trying to qualify for Boston, it just happened. I wasn't planning to run any more marathons after I ran the first one, now I've run three. The marathon… Continue reading The Boston Marathon Part 2: Running the marathon and all of the thoughts I had before, during, and after the race
Grand River Gallop 5K (20:41)
On April Fool's Day I ran a race. This was my first race since the Philadelphia Marathon in November and my first race in Colorado. I figured I should run a race before going to Boston, so I did.

Philadelphia Marathon (3:30:24)
THE MARATHON IS OVER!!!!! Many people know that I have been feeling a lot of contempt toward The Philadelphia Marathon this year. After running my first marathon in 3:29:04 a year ago with somewhat haphazard training I decided to give the marathon distance another shot. I felt like I could run faster so I signed up… Continue reading Philadelphia Marathon (3:30:24)
Ben Franklin Bridge Run: 6 year streak
A week and a half ago I ran the Ben Franklin Bridge run for the 6th year in a row. I finally have a few minutes to write the race recap. I have been going crazy collecting data for my research project but I am down to the final 100 schools, which will probably take… Continue reading Ben Franklin Bridge Run: 6 year streak
USATFNJ XC 5K
Today I ran the USATFNJ XC 5K at Thompson Park. This race was about an hour north of where I live. I am familiar with this park because I have been there several times before with the team I coach. I was excited to run this race because I have always wanted to run on this cross-country… Continue reading USATFNJ XC 5K
Freedom 4 miler
This race recap is late but you know what they say, better late than never. Last Monday was one of my favorite days of the year, 4th of July. I love this day for a bunch of reasons but mostly because the community aspect of running is magnified at this particular race. It was amazing to… Continue reading Freedom 4 miler
Stop Childhood Pain 5K or AMPS 5k (20:26)
Last week Liz (link to her recap here) messaged me to ask if I wanted to run a 5k with her. Of course I said yes. Had I not, you wouldn't be reading this right now! Also, I wouldn't have made that lame joke.... The idea of racing with Liz excited me so Saturday morning I pried myself out… Continue reading Stop Childhood Pain 5K or AMPS 5k (20:26)
