Running, cats & coffee.
I've been running consistently for a few weeks now and my achilles is feeling almost normal. To clarify, my current definition of consistent running is slow and steady. Once my achilles stopped hurting 24/7 and I was able to walk without pain I did a few 1 mile runs. In mid December I began with… Continue reading Never Quit
2018 is off to a great start! I've been selected for the Altra Red Team, previously known as the Altra Ambassador program. Year 3 with Altra is going to be amazing! With more free time on the horizon and my achilles tendonitis injury behind me, 2018 will be filled with miles of adventures in the mountains.… Continue reading Altra Red Team!
In the past I've written about setting goals rather than resolutions because I think setting a properly structured goal is much more effective than just resolving to do something, or not do something. Though I don't think goals, or resolutions if you prefer that term, need to be set on January 1st the 1st of… Continue reading New Year, New Goals

The dream will actualize one day but the process will never be a dream. No one ever tells you that before you can live out your dream you have to survive… Continue reading Living out your dream is never a dream
It has been over a month since my blog turned 3 and I wrote any new posts. I enjoy blogging and writing but the last month has been hectic and blogging and writing has become a source of stress rather than a source of enjoyment. There are 2 races and an injury that I didn’t… Continue reading 2 races, an injury, blogging break & academic burnout

Running has been my best friend, my worst enemy, and my main source of failure. As a long time female athlete I’ve experienced low points in my sport coupled with the crippling fear that I will never be “good enough,” and this fear that I would never be good enough wasn’t just isolated to my… Continue reading Success erases failure
Running Total miles: 121 miles Total runs: 23 Longest run: 16 miles Shortest run: 1 mile Races: 1 Hogback Hustle -My running is still inconsistent. I have no real focus or goal right now.
