Back in June, I was invited by fellow Skirt Sports Ambassador Sandy Stiner to join her on a crazy challenge. Run every street in your city. Yes, Every Street. It might take more than just this year, but this was going to be a new adventure. This is the first of many post to capture my […]

Surviving the Worlds Longest 5k – a true story!

This past weekend, I took on a new challenge. It was something I NEVER thought I would do… but with all the challenges I have faced, I knew that this one was one that I couldn’t pass up! The 2017 Run with the Flamingo’s 5k – the Worlds Longest 5k! Yup, it’s a 5k… and […]
2017 Titletown Bike Tour 120k – yeah we got a little lost!

“Strength doesn’t come from what you do. It comes from overcoming the things you thought you couldn’t” – Nikki Rogers Six or more months ago, when Ellyn and I were joking about doing the Titletown Bike tour, over a few glasses of wine, I secretly told myself “yeah right, that’ll never happen”. But then it turned into […]
Fellow Flowers… it’s more than just a group of ladies running together

4 years ago I was introduced to a new organization. A movement that was happening practically in my backyard. An idea created partially by an old friend. Fellow Flowers was the brainchild of Tori and Mel, as a way to bring women together, a virtual sisterhood for women who run, a place to empower and encourage […]
New partnership with Shoe Hoodies, plus your chance to win!

Many of you may remember my post from a few weeks ago about my new favorite hoodie… my Shoe Hoodies! Gone are the day of cold wet toes when I head out for a run! Shoe Hoodies is a small family owned company based out of MN and has the all-season runner covered when it […]
Shoe Hoodies! The all-season runner’s new best friend!

I will be the first to admit, there are 2 things that I can’t live without in my closet… Skirt Sports (affiliate link) and hoodies. I actually might have to count to see if I have more hoodies or running skirts. It might be too close to call! I always have a few hoodies lying […]
Get out and explore your backyard!

Ok, maybe not literally in your backyard, but GET OUTSIDE! Explore areas of your own hometown! Whether you live in the middle of a city, in the quiet country side or somewhere in between, there are always new places to explore! Yesterday, I knew that I needed to get outside and enjoy the unusually […]
Skirt Sports, Coffee and Cryotherapy!

No better way to start a Friday morning! A few weeks ago, my friend Mandi from Cryotherapy of WI invited me to be her guest on Coffee and Cyro. This is her Friday morning fun to get the word out on why different people use cryotherapy. She wanted me to share with everyone how, as […]
Why do I run?

Why? Why, oh Why, do you run? This is a question that I am asked ALL THE TIME. Unless you are a runner, you may never understand why I, or any runner does. It’s personal. We all run for our own reasons! Someone can’t MAKE you run, once you find your WHY, the rest […]
