I’m back.
One picture today, just game day on the mind.

First race (half marathon 13.1 miles) post July (7/21/24) injury. Came here to let it rip and see where I am at. Today was work.

Payday was a new personal record.

Proud of Carson and Tristyn they both did well on their 5k with Carson also getting a new personal best!

Do the work

I’m back!! First run post medial gastrocnemius calf tear, and severed plantaris tendon. It’s been 5 weeks to the day. Had to hold myself back at 2 miles because these legs just wanted to go! Easing myself back to comeback stronger than ever! It felt appropriate to wear my race day shirt, and of course my new hat!! Big goals coming up stay tuned!!

Well it looks like that’s a wrap! Off season is starting a bit early due to a popped/ torn calf muscle. Made it through a huge year of growth as an athlete with only three main races left this year that I will have to defer. I’m happy with what I accomplished, and excited for what is to come after rehabilitating this injury!!

73 miles since Sunday! Beautiful day up in the hills with a damn great friend. 21 miles 3600’ elevation gain all at 7200’ above sea level minimum. Tried some new fueling techniques and learned a lot! Also some new Mont Blanc BOA and first long run in my new ADV SKIN 12 pack.

Set out this morning to hit my furthest and longest run yet in training for the Ute 100 next month. Today’s my birthday so I decided nothing was more fitting than 34 miles for my 34th bday!! My 11 year old brought me in on the last 10k and we ended up running straight into the pool at 34.03 miles 🤪

I’m so elated with my progress and after enjoying many many hobbies throughout my life I LOVE that I have found a love in running and pushing myself all while feeling better each and every day!! Humble brag because I’ve hit all my running goals this year with only two left. Next up sub 20 minute 5k (I am 9 seconds off) and toe the line for my 100 with some level of confidence (Today helped immensely)!!

Get out and crush it today friends! I am so dang proud of you all!

Let’s do it again tomorrow morning!?! Also peep the trail monster that made me legit let out a small scream as I hopped over it 😂🤪

2nd place overall 2 seconds behind the leader. About 80-100 participants. Race was a couple hundred meters over a 5k. Race time was 20:53 but actual 5k worked out at 20:08 9 seconds off my summer goal for a sub 20.
