Victory is having done your best. If you’ve done your best, you have won – Bill Bowerman, Coach At some point in your life, you will have that one day, one event or one challenge that, for whatever reason, you really wonder how it could have been different if something had happened differently. Sometimes, no […]
Hamster Races
This crazy hamster has a goal to see the world!
Half Marathons have been the preferred distance so far for this Crazy Hamster! I may not be fast, but I’m not last. I prefer to be able to enjoy the scenery and new places I get to scamper around!
So lets’ get going and run one in every state! It might take me a while, as that money tree that I planted as not started producing yet, but slow and steady finishes the race
Wausau Half Marathon + myTEAM Triumph = Making Ashton Fly
Dad, when I run it feels like my disability disappears. – Rick Hoyt, tri-athlete and half of the inspirational Team Hoyt There is always that one race that, from the moment you sign up for it, you start counting the days and you look forward to running for several months before the actual even gets […]
Mud, Sweat and Hills… oh yeah, and then more mud!
When a thunderstorm wakes everyone at 2am, most runners with a race scheduled for the next morning would cringe. However, when the same thunder storm rolls through the night before the Cliffrunner 10k, it only adds to the excitement of my favorite trail run of the summer! A little extra mud only adds to the […]
Go Pack Go! Lets run thru the stadium!
If you are a runner or a Green Bay Packers fan, and live in the Green Bay area, you probable have run this fun summer race. The Packers 5k run takes place every year (for 7 years now) on the Saturday that Packers Training camp kicks off. It gives fans a chance to run/walk through […]
Rockin’ and Rollin’ Thru Chicago (part 2)
Girls weekend – Rock N Roll Chicago 2016 continued! Exploring the City – Day 1 Getting out and exploring the city is always a must do when we travel for races. Yes, we were there to run, but there is so much more to traveling for a race than just running! Last time visited Chicago, […]
Rockin’ and Rollin’ Thru Chicago (part 1)
Girls weekend 2016 finally arrived! This year’s destination… The Windy City! Chicago, here we come! What started out a few years ago as 3 new friends from the gym deciding to get together for a fairly local race and then to Chicago a few weeks later, has turned into a yearly adventure! Two years ago, […]
I have officially crossed over to the dark side!
Ok not really… But that depends on who you ask! After months of anticipation, training, questioning myself and hundreds of training miles, the weekend of the Titletown Ultra was upon us. June 25th was a day that, when I signed up for this race, seemed like it was so far away. And apparently, when I […]
Inspiration comes in the form of a sea of red!
This past weekend marked the 40th Annual Bellin 10k Run. The first event was held in 1977 with a total of 881 participants. Since then, the race has grown by leaps and bounds! Over the years this has grown to be one of the largest 10k’s in the country. This year it drew in nearly […]

When you get the call to work the race expo for the 2nd largest half marathon in the country, you don’t say no! After months of waiting, Tracie and I were ready to head to Indy for some fun! 6 hours on the road with this girl makes the time fly! Listening to Beiber […]
Zero Expectations can work out to your benefit sometimes!
Before each race, many of us probably go through some of the same questions to prepare ourselves mentally for the event… Goal time to finish? Average Pace? Whatever it may be, we usually have something that we are shooting for. Last weekend, I threw all of that behind me. I went into the Oshkosh Half […]
