Western States 100
To run 100 miles is to push yourself to that place where you waver between delusion and sanity. Stripped down to nothing, bearing your soul. Exposed. Raw. Real. ….And yet the will to continue, to persevere, endures. Quitting is not an option. And at the pinnacle of human suffering, where mind, body, and spirit are… read more »
Cauliflower “Pizza”
Ok, let’s get one thing straight. This is not pizza. It’s delicious and wonderful, but it is not in the same family as pizza. I love homemade pizza, and the only ingredients I want in the crust are: -Flour -Extra Virgin Olive Oil -Sea Salt -Yeast That’s it. No crazy additions or substitutions. Keep it… read more »
Homemade Petso
I am slightly obsessed with Pesto. However, I didn’t really care for it until a few years ago. I would always choose tomato sauce over pesto on my pizza. That is, until a friend introduced me to the deliciousness of homemade pesto. We were having a pizza party one night and each person was supposed… read more »
Coconut Cardamom Overnight Oats
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I love to sit down with a huge mug of coffee and leisurely eat my breakfast while catching up on emails. In my ideal world, breakfast takes anywhere from 1-2 hours. I love preparing a good, healthy, satisfying meal each morning. Some of my favorites include homemade… read more »

I did my best to prepare, including some great tutelage from my good friend Meghan Arbogast. I… read more »
Something Different: The Grand Traverse
One of my goals for 2015 was to get out of my comfort zone. I can definitely say I’ve accomplished this goal last weekend at the Grand Traverse. There were so many moments of what did I get myself into? followed by moments of satisfaction as I approached my limits….. and then pushed past them! One… read more »
Way Too Cool 50k: Race of the Fasties
Way Too Fast Cool. I wanted to race WTC this year for an early season kick in the butt. However, I wasn’t fully prepared for what I was getting myself into. A few days before the race I looked up the start list and realized that I was WAY down on the Ultra Signup rankings… read more »
Thoughts on Running in 2015: Part II
Run #LikeAGirl I know it’s already well into 2015, but I like to take some time to disconnect after the season and not worry about training or racing. So I’m a little late to the game creating my goals for 2015, but nonetheless, here are my plans for 2015. 2015 Race Schedule 2/7 Vert Fest… read more »
Thoughts on running in 2015: Part I
In 2015 I have two types of goals that are very different. Thus, I decided to split it into two posts- more reading, right?! My first post (below) is about doing something bigger in life. My second goal, in the next post, is more focused on racing and running #LikeAGirl I’ve had a slow start… read more »
The North Face Endurance Challenge
“Decent” My response to a friend’s text “give me one word describing your race. I haven’t looked at results yet” And decent it was. Photo credit: Myke Hermsmeyer Photography/Ultra Race Photos I had mixed feelings about the day, but overall I am very positive about the end of my 2014 season. Was this my best race?… read more »
