On the weekend of April 6th, 2019, I took a trip down to Wildwood, Missouri to run the Ozark Foothills 50k trail race put on by the Terrain Trail Runners, who are based in St. Louis, MO. It’s a beautiful course run on the fast and challenging trails at Greensfelder Park in Wildwood, MO., located […]
Winter is not my cup of tea. I prefer to keep outdoor workouts short, or run with my favorite running club on cold, crisp winter mornings . There is nothing I love more than warm, sunny spring days when I can shed the layers and get out for a workout! But sometimes, I’ll find that […]
Well, that wasn’t so bad after all. I received a pair of Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z trekking poles from the sweets for Christmas, but I haven’t had a chance to take them for a whirl until now. The snow has mostly cleared from my favorite trail, so I had a great opportunity to take […]
If you were to ask me how many running shoes I’ve owned since I started running, I couldn’t even begin to tell you. It’s been a lot. Tons, maybe. Runners can relate, yes? Very early on as I started to run marathons, I learned that you have to switch out your shoes after they’ve reached […]
I still remember that weekend clearly. I remember the Adrenaline. The Excitement. The Energy. I remember the beautiful weather. I remember thinking how lucky I was to be there.

Come along with me as I run the Frozen Gnome 10K/50K trail race that was held on 1/12/19. This was to be my first ultra of the year, but let’s just say this winter hasn’t been the kindest in regards to getting some time out on the trails. Still, that doesn’t mean I can’t have […]
I’m not much of a video or photography expert, but I’d like to think I can tell a good photo or video when I see it. I like to take the time to shoot a decent photo for, say, my Instagram page because I’d like to be able to enjoy it a few years from […]
