2023 is a year of renewal. I want to renew my love with, and strength in running. It was regained a bit last year, then lost and I vow to spend time building back and going for a marathon PR at Grandma’s Marathon. I’d like to do a lot of trail racing, as well as participate in stand up paddleboard, gravel bike, and triathlon races. I’m ready to have some fun in 2023!

Saturday, June 9, 2022 – 9am I was discouraged at the start line to see so few stand up paddleboards, but excited to try to compete and do by best. I signed up for the Vatten Paddlar 5 Mile paddle race in hopes that it’d be a fun training for the Boundary Waters traverse – […]
Race Day: Saturday, June 18, 2022 – 6am Another one. This is such a fun race and it was highly anticipated for me. It is crazy to think that this was the first race I really signed up for way back in 2008 (for the 2009 version). I thought many times during my training cycle […]
Race Date: Sunday, October 17, 2021 – 9:30am At the starting line of the Terribly Tough 10k, the very next morning after a solid yet taxing win at Wild Duluth 100k, I was finally sure that I would be able to make the distance. I didn’t know for sure if I’d run the whole way, […]
