Running has brought me a lot of things over the years. One of the most important things running has brought into my life is friendship and community. After several years of battling a variety of different nagging injuries that have kept me from being as much of a part of the running community as I would want to be I was feeling a little lost in my pursuit of running. I have… Read More

I love to get out into nature. Often when I plan to go outside there is a specific reason. I want to photograph a waterfall. Or I want to hike some trails. And some places are great for specific experiences. But what really can make a place special is if it is a haven of a wide variety of natural experiences. This is what I love about Tanglewood Nature Center.

I love trail running. It is one of my favorite activities. Getting out in nature. Moving on my feet. It is a great feeling. So, I really love it when an organization puts on a great trail running event. I am not usually the kind of person who likes to run the same events over and over. I usually prefer to experience new things. Take on new challenges. But the Tyoga Running… Read More

At this point I have not been able to run regularly for around 2 months. In mid April I decided to try to run 3 miles at our local group run, because my leg had been feeling fine with everything else I had been doing, which excluded only running. I ran 3 miles. But it was quite painful the entire time. Next up was Hills Creek Challenge on May 3rd. I had… Read More

Goals My goals for 2025 are in service of a larger longer range goal for when I turn 50. In 2028 I will turn 50. And after a couple of years of frustration with injuries and beginning to think maybe my days… Read More

I usually plan most of my races in advance. If not registered for well in advance then they are at least on my calendar so I can sign up for them if I decide I want to run it. But sometimes you just go run a race. In 2024 I paced a friend for 20 miles of the Twisted Branch 100k. Since then we kept in touch about our running adventures and… Read More

I really did not have this on my BINGO card a year ago. As little as months ago I was just focused on trying to get healthy, stay healthy, and hopefully finish my first ultramarathon in over two years. I just wanted to have a good solid year of running culminating in one big event to cap it off. As I started to feel better and believe maybe I could actually finish… Read More

In what appears to be on its way to becoming an annual tradition I have been at the Mighty Mosquito 99 event 3 out of the last 4 years. My first appearance was in 2021 to attempt the solo 100 mile event. And then I have been back twice to participate in the relay with a great group of friends. And I probably would have been there 4 years in a row… Read More
