    Quarantine Motivation

    Seems so long ago that I completed the World Marathon Challenge. In part because the world has changed so much in these past few months. The idea of travelling around the world right now is nearly unimaginable. But, we roll with what life throws at us. Including the lack of races. As someone who generally runs nearly 20 races a year, going four months without a race is unheard of!! During this time, I, like many others, have struggled to find my motivation. If not training fo

So, there are also days when nothing feels right. You feel awkward. You want to just pack it up and call it a day. Maybe just curl up on the couch and binge watch your favorite show. While eating ice cream. Or, maybe that’s just me. Over the past few weeks, I’ve spent a good bit of time

    Fueling on the Run.

    I've been traveling a lot (on a plane again as I start drafting this), so wanted to briefly mention the struggles of eating “healthy” during all this travel. I think everyone probably realizes that convenient food options are not always the best for you. As I’ve been trying to dial in my nutrition more recently, it’s become so much more apparent to me during these past few months of travel. What seems like endless travel. I’ve made many concessions, but have tried to not stra
