Every now again, someone will come into my life who touches my soul in ways I can not describe. The type of person who I see so much potential in, if I show up less than 100%, I am doing a disservice to the both of us. I had the honor of meeting Michelle in […]
Let me start this post off by saying I am not an expert. I am not medically trained in this area. This post is simply based on my own experiences. I am happy to lend an ear and helping hand but if you believe you need something other than to talk it out with a […]
I have been quiet. Not only on social media and blog writing but with my friends. I am an open book most days, but recently I have kept to myself. I needed to change my focus and reprioritize where I was putting my energy. With that, most people were shocked or had no idea I […]
Building up to the race in San Diego, it was ugh..interesting to say the least. I had reached an all time high of extreme fatigue and stress. I was lucky if I completed 50% of my workouts. I decided to limit my social media to reduce further distractions. I don’t know about you but some […]

I’m from small town Oregon. Girls didn’t have the option to play softball, but could participate on the baseball team before school […]
Running is a fascinating sport. I grew up playing volleyball and basketball. You still need mental toughness but when it is a hard day, typically your teammates pick it up for you. Not always, but I was fortunate to share the court with some badass freaking women! When you feel physically at your worst, your […]
Earlier this week a friend graced me with his presence and joined me for my structured run on his recovery day. He is super speedy and entertaining which is partially why I beg him to run with me on my hard days! 🙂 The workout was pace change ups. Run x pace for x time. […]
This last weekend I had the opportunity to join around 70+ women from various cities for BAnna Camp, a running camp. This camp was once a dream of Anna Weber and Becki Spellman’s, both part of the Oiselle’s Haute Volée. Thankfully, their dream became a reality and the inaugural camp was held outside of Austin. […]
