I kept meaning to write this recap but with packing, work and training, it just didn’t get done until now. When I ran this race in 2014 it wasn’t my best experience. I didn’t get much sleep the night before, I fell and my knee was all cut open, it rained. There were a ton […]
A few weekends ago I had a great confidence boosting run weekend – I ran 20 miles with the Cave Creek Chicks on Saturday and then on Sunday I headed down to the Paradise Valley Mall to run in the Runner’s Den AZ Pancake Run. 15 miles into 20 This was the 37th year for […]
After having been in Hawaii for 10 days and not doing a lot of running, it was time to get back on board with my marathon training. I was having some issues with my calves being really tight & until the Tuesday before this race, I hadn’t really run more than 6 miles for over […]
Sean asked me to go to Hawaii with him way back, or so it seemed :), because he got into the H.U.R.T. 100 ultra race on the island of O’ahu. Since we’ve met, he’s run a lot of ultras but I unfortunately haven’t been able to join him at any of them so I was […]

Two weeks ago, I ran my last race for 2014, The Hot Chocolate 15k, here in Phoenix or technically Scottsdale :). I debated a lot about even running this race mostly because while it does provide a lot of nice swag, it is an expensive race for the fact that it is a 5k & […]
Last year I was taking a break from running after the NYC Marathon so I volunteered at the LifeTime Thanksgiving Day Turkey Run in downtown Phoenix. This year I was just off a marathon and our huge event at work, but Thanksgiving was Sean’s birthday and I knew we would be running at least a […]
When we left off, we were on our way out for dinner, at 11:30pm Saturday night, because I totally fell asleep after the 5K. We went to Yardhouse by the Linq and had super yummy club sandwiches with sweet potato fries. Yum!! It was super windy that night and soooo cold. I was praying that […]
Sean & I headed to Vegas a few weeks ago for the RnR Las Vegas Marathon. We had Tour Passes and one extra race each so I looked it up to see if we could use the pass for the 5K and when I found out we could, we signed up. Since Sean is a […]
When my team from last year asked if I wanted to run Ragnar Trail McDowell Mountain again, the answer was a resounding YES! Last year was my very first time camping and surprisingly it wasn’t nearly as bad as I was expecting and throw in a few runs, friends, food and it was a great […]
