Do we always have motivation? Are we always driven? Do we always complete the goals we set for ourselves? For me, the answer is NO. I’m not always feeling it. I don’t always want to write. I don’t always want to run. I don’t always want to make my posts on my social media accounts….

Primal Journey Has Begun
Have you ever heard a podcast and what they were saying just clicked? Josh had me listen to Primal Endurance # 46 with Jeff Browning (a favorite ultra runner). He started to talk about the dietary changes he has made and how they have benefited his life and running. It all made sense to me. We lived a 90% healthy lifestyle, but had occasional…
Womens Altra Neoshell Lone Peak 3.0
I have always been an Altra fan. I love the wide toe box and how they fit my feet. I have multiple styles of their shoes lining my closet. I have road and trail styles. I’ve not come across one of their shoes that I do not like. Today I want to talk about their…
Running…..
I’ve always ran to lose weight, but lately I have come to realize that I don’t need running to lose weight. Primal will do that for me. I need to find new reasons to run. To let the wind blow in my hair. To feel life pulse around me in the wilderness. I want to…
January 17. 2017
Day 4 of sickness. My son decided to share the flu with me. So wonderful! I miss running, but my lungs are full of mucus, so that is a no go. What I have been enjoying the last few days is Yoga with Adrian. I’ve never been into the full yogee zone and the way…
Bandera 100k
The Western States 100 is my dream race and has been for as long as I have been running. I have watched “Unbreakable” countless times and is still my go to when I am getting pumped up about going for a run/race. If you haven’t seen it, “Unbreakable” is a movie that follows 4 men…
January 12. 2017
Big changes in 2017! I have always been a bit of a health nut. I try to eat as cleanly as possible, with whole grains, veggies, fish, and fowel (no cow or pig). I have always carried some extra weight around the middle no matter what I have done. It has made me very consous of…
Highlands Endurance Run
When reading the name of this run you think ” this sounds fun”, and it is. It is also hard, rocky, and covered in leaves. This was my first ultra run, and man did I pick it. If there was one thing I could say, it would be that I grew in my mental strength. So…
The Dark…Dunh duh duuuuh
So, some background on my nyctophobia: As a little girl I was forced to watch scary movies, such as Freddy Krueger, Hellraiser, and Chucky. I have always had a very over active imagination. As I got older my imagination would run away from me. I envisioned all sorts of bad scenarios. I would try to stop…
My Experience At The AT100
My kind of people, that is what I think about runners. We all have something in common: running. We have a passion bordering on obsession with running. I was able to experience that at the Arkansas Traveler 100. I was able to see runners in their element. Everyone so hyped up, ready to get the…
Motivation: How I get some?
Everyday I struggle with motivation. Mine doesn’t come in the form of the next race or event. It’s like a slippery fish, hard to keep ahold of. It’s comes in different forms: a pictures, a phrase, a song that hits me just at the right moment, but most important, my thoughts. If I can’t get my thoughts/mind…
