I started this post to write a race recap, but quickly it evolved into something else. To be real and totally transparent I lost my groove after the Cellcom Marathon. For 3 years I had my head down and was putting in the work to achieve my goal of 40 marathons by my 40th birthday. ... Continue Reading →
Running isn't just about putting one foot in front of the other, it means so much more!

10 years, 10 pounds, & a lot of living later...I returned to the scene of my very 1st marathon the Green Bay Cellcom. I was told long before I began my long distance adventures that I would never forget my 1st marathon. The day will be forever burned into my brain. Fast forward 10 years... Continue Reading →
