Eugene Marathon Race Recap

I'm not going to lie - I am so surprised at my race results. I mean, my last post about training clearly stated I was slowly dying from training and this may not be my time to run a marathon.

San Diego Half Marathon Race Recap

Holy hills this was a tough race! I knew when I signed up for this race that it would be a challenging one, but this hill was like no other.

2017 Long Beach Half Marathon Race Recap - A New Course PR

There is something special about your first half marathon, especially when it’s also your hometown race. I’ve lived in Long Beach for 14 years (almost half my life!), and the Long Beach Half Marathon was the first race I ever signed up for.

Fall Marathon Travel Prep Guide

Doing marathons + traveling is so much fun, but it can also be stressful. My #1 rule for traveling for a race is that everything has to fit in a carry on.

2017 Wrigley River Run Race Recap

My first race post Boston wasn't half bad! I have a love/hate relationship with the Wrigley River Run. I love that it's a local race that supports the community, its small, and very well organized. It's also a chance to run with all of the local running groups at once.

Race Week: Boston Marathon Goals and Race Plan

I've put together my race goals. I always set a few goals for myself for a race so I don't walk away completely disappointed if I don't get my A goal. After such an awesome training cycle, I'd be lying if I said that I will not be super upset if I don't hit my A goal.
