It’s been a while since I have shared anything on with you on here. I have been working hard and training a lot, but I haven’t found much energy to write much this year. I want to get better at that! I hope to at least write here once a month for the rest of the year! Until I get something together for March, here is a little something I wrote for On Running about their ambassador program and really fun event I put on this year:
This fall has been just crazy. I feel like I have spent more time in other beds the past two months than I have in my own. I had some amazing trips got to see family, friends, run a marathon, go to a wedding, attend a work retreat, and house sit for a beautiful home outside the city, but I’ve realized that the living-out-of-a-suitcase-life is not for me.

That day is tomorrow and tonight I take off for my week long Caribbean vacation! Continue reading “Results and lies”
Wow! This weekend was absolutely one for the books.
6 weeks ago I opened my Nike + Run Club app and found an invite to come run the Chicago Marathon with them. I clicked on it immediately and all it said was that I was in. The message was kind of vague and I didn’t quite grasp the fact that Nike was actually going to sponsor my entry into the sold out Chicago Marathon. It wasn’t until a few hours later when a Nike running expert from HQ called me to get my details and make sure I would be able to run with them on October 9th. WHAT!?!? Omg. Amazing, right?!?
