On November 10th, 2018 I spent much of the day with a smile on my face. The weather was cold, much colder than a normal early November weekend, even for Illinois. As a Wisconsin girl, the cold didn’t scare me. The number of miles didn’t scare me and the amount of time I’d be running didn’t scare me. In fact,…

Titletown Ultra Series – 8 hours in the furnace
So I haven’t been writing. Imagine that, this blog has always been a flurry of posts. Some month’s would be great, others not so great. Yet here I am trying again.

Boston Marathon 2016 – Race Report

Lakefront 50k Race Report
LakeFront 50k – Race Report In December of 2014 I had two hernias repaired. After my surgery, I decided that the Lakefront 50k along Chicago’s Lakefront path would be a good race to build up some mileage. Even though most of my larger late spring races would be trails, I liked the idea of a nice flat road race. I…
