Reflections…
After a whirlwind couple of months, I’ve taken some time to appreciate the simple things. Sometimes we just need to take a moment. Be present. And be thankful for all the great things in our lives. Crisp autumn mornings. Trail Runs. Baking. Friends. Love.
The Fall Tour
When I was younger I used to watch a show called “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?” Best. Show. Ever. Check it here. Anyway, I’ve felt a little like “Where in the world is Stephanie?” Since early summer I’ve been on the road. A lot. It’s been a lot of fun, and there are still… read more »
My Western States Story
Photo Credit: Stephanie Deveau Wow……it’s finally starting to sink in that I won Western States. Running the last mile with my crew and finishing on the track in Auburn was one the greatest feelings ever. I was overcome with so many emotions: excitement, astonishment, gratitude, exhaustion…..

Lake Sonoma 50 Mile
Lake Sonoma is one of my favorite races ever. Not only is it a beautiful, challenging course; but the atmosphere that Tropical John creates and the buzz surrounding the pre- and post-race events really make a great weekend! Lake Sonoma was also my first 50 mile race a couple years ago, so I was excited… read more »
Mesquite Canyon 50k and Other Recent Ramblings
The desert is HOT. Especially for a northern dweller who hasn’t run in shorts yet this year. Yes, I was that runner who was glowing white amongst all the bronzed legs of more ‘acclimatized runners’. So what was I doing in the desert? Well, a last-minute decision to pull out of Chuckanut and a need… read more »
2014 Goals & Race Schedule
Better late than never, right? As of lately you can find me spending most of my time in the lab pipetting blood samples. Yes, I am FINALLY collecting data for my study! This is happening. In a big way that doesn’t leave much free time. Hence the radio silence. I can see the light at… read more »

Reflections on the past year…a novel :)
[NOTE- this is a long post. I’ll post another version of my 2013 reflections in PHOTOS for those who don’t want to read my ramblings] So I didn’t get to race TNF 50 last weekend. I was pretty bummed. BUT, I was happy to be letting my body heal! After UROC I had some lingering… read more »
UROC 100k
Photo: Matt Trappe Wow. I am still in total unbelief that I was able to pull off this race! UROC was the race that almost didn’t happen for me. I’m sure glad that I changed my mind and toed the line. It was an incredibly hard sufferfest and I am SO, SO glad I raced!… read more »
Sierre-Zinal & Other Recent Events
Yep, way overdue. BUT- still within the one month limit! I’ve had a lot of great things in my life lately so hopefully the late race report is forgiven 🙂 Sierre-Zinal Uff da! Pardon the Minnesotan slang, but that pretty much sums up my feelings after Sierre-Zinal. It ate me alive! I still had a… read more »
