I started my Stitcher podcast app just before the race started and had my Runkeeper ready to go. I always feel awkward doing the weird shuffle at the starting line, everyone pressing the button on their Garmins and me, as a historical amateur runner, fiddling with my new phone, which was much larger than my […]

If you do not know already from my posting it in all social media channels multiple times, I am the sexier half of a podcast called Single and Sweaty with Alex of Distance Obsessed. I have been having a blast recording with him, though before Episode 7, we had never met face to face! This […]

I know I am supposed to be resuming my regularly scheduled Crossfit life and retire from running, but when an opportunity to do some trail running at a local state park with my Crossfit Endurance family came up, I thought I would give it a chance. I woke up Saturday morning to a brisk morning, […]

Earlier this year, I signed up for my second ever 10k, a St. Patrick’s themed “ShamRock ‘n Roll.” Upon registering for the event, the sponsoring company enticed additional registrants with a promise a “Triple Crown” medal, an honor only for those who completed all three sponsored races.

Once upon a time, about a week after I officially signed up for Crossfit, I had the crazy idea to sign up for a half marathon as a non-runner. A non-runner, you say? Without getting into a philosophical conversation about what makes one a runner, my distinction is this: If you are passionate about what you […]

I started training for my “first and last and one and only” half marathon with no formal plan, running twice a week: Thursday Crossfit Endurance classes (various intervals, usually around 3 miles total distance), and a Saturday “long run” with increasing mileage as time went on. I only added additional weekly training runs about five […]

If you have been following my emotional roller-coaster of half-marathon training, you would know it has been a rough journey from hating running to developing just a strong dislike. The past months have been extremely challenging, pushing my body to new limits when it comes to running, hitting milestones for distance with seven, eight, and […]

Maybe because I am not feeling as “aesthetically fit” as I was a month or two ago, I am becoming a bit more judgmental on how women are choosing to boast progress in their fitness. While I’m usually the last person to have haters, I posted a comment in a female-focused lifting group on Facebook […]

If I walked into every Crossfit class and looked at the whiteboard thinking, “There is no way I can do that,” I probably wouldn’t have achieved a percent of what I have already. I go into each Crossfit class knowing that it is it not at all a matter of if I can or if I […]
