Something that we all wish for is to have some alone time. Is this something that we truly crave? Do we want to be alone? Being alone is scary, its uncomfortable. It can also be liberating and empowering. At what point does that magical transition take place that takes loneliness and turns into liberation? OrContinue reading “The Birthday That Wasn’t”

Taking life for granted, Grant me the serenity…..
Not a running post per say. From a young age I knew I wouldn’t have it easy. I knew I’d have to fight for what I wanted. This has mostly served me well. When your parents have friends who have kids your age, you become friends. Sometime in middle or elementary school I made suchContinue reading “Taking life for granted, Grant me the serenity…..”
Wasatch 100 recap
You must know by now that I completed this hard and unforgiving race. Before the race started I was baffled about the challenging course, knowing there was no qualifier to enter and why someone would choose this course as their first 100 miler. I met quite a few of those people out there. The weekContinue reading “Wasatch 100 recap”
Vermont 100 recap
What a ride. July 15-16 the Vermont 100 miler. Finishing in 23:41:47 earning the big buckle. A sub 24 hour finish was my B goal. Back up a bit. The previous weekend is when the whirlwind trip started. I first got up well before the sun and headed to a local race where I hadContinue reading “Vermont 100 recap”
Chippewa 50K recap
There are many things that I could think about that might have caused a bad race. I would drive myself crazy thinking about all the things that I did or didn’t do to feel so shitty on race day. Roger and I got up to the race site Friday afternoon. I did a nice shakeContinue reading “Chippewa 50K recap”
Having a cup of coffee with Fear.
There are things that happen to us. Do they happen for a reason? Would the outcome be the same if x hadn’t happened? Would I be where I am today if I chose path y instead? Thinking about the outcomes that may or may not have happened can drive one crazy. It can prevent youContinue reading “Having a cup of coffee with Fear.”
#Birdstrike
As much as I try I will never be able to put into words the feeling and experience of the weekend. I agreed to this journey without hesitation and without much knowledge. Lesko asked if I would be in for “an awesome adventure with Oiselle,” or something along those lines. How do you say noContinue reading “#Birdstrike”

John Dick 50K recap
I have to say that there is nothing like this race. Last year I didn’t decide until the morning of that I wanted to do this. I needed a longer run to get me on track for my 100K in April so it was perfect timing. It was a training run and I hadn’t runContinue reading “John Dick 50K recap”
so long 2016
This past year has been full of challenges and change. Big goals, and small setbacks. But what is it that makes a year “good?” I have met some of my now dearest friends within the past year. You know by now that I am a part of Oiselle, and you might have guessed that theyContinue reading “so long 2016”
