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…
Strava Segment of the Week-NW Arkansas
Well I didn’t do a very good job at all during the holidays to keep the Stava segments coming but it is still my plan to add a different one to chase every Friday. Not only is it fun, its a great way to measure your progress. Plus, I guess it gives me an outlet…
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…
Strava Segment of the Week-NW Arkansas
Since I spend way too much time thinking about the Strava segments that I’d like to chase, it only seemed fitting to share them with everybody. I’m going to do my best to post a different segment in the area every Friday. Some of the segments I made up myself and some were by others….
Gear Review-Runmino 5K Samples
A little while back I received a few 5k samples of the Mino Flex from our friends at Runmino. Since we run in the Run Bentonville Race Series’ Goblin Run 5K every year, I figured that it would be the perfect chance to put Mino’s accuracy to the test. With all of our focus on…
Shoe Review-Altra Lone Peak 3.0
Received a pair of Altra’s new Lone Peak 3.0 on Friday. There are lots of changes from the previous version that have me crazy excited for this shoe!! Was so excited to get them that I went straight out to the Lake Atalanta MTB trails after work for a few miles. They felt great right…
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…
Gear Review-Mino Shoe Tracker
Do you have multiple pairs of shoes that you run in? Ever wish there was an easier way to track the miles that you put on each pair? Or even suffered an injury due to running in over worn, broken down shoes? The Mino shoe tracker is the easy, worry free answer to all of…
Back 40 Sneak Peak
Here’s a little sneak peak of the yet to be completed Back 40 trail in Bella Vista, AR.
Gear Review-Ampla Fly
This weekend we received an amazing care package from our friends at Ampla Sport. Summer and I had a crazy weekend crewing/pacing at the Arkansas Traveller 100 but we can’t wait to put some miles on these shoes. There is an insane amount of tech that went into this shoe, which we will go through…
Pina Recovery
So very proud and excited to have Pina Recovery as a part of our team!! The harder we train and the more miles we put in, the more evident the need for a recovery supplement is. From day one Pina has been exactly what I needed, so that my body can be at its best…
