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 […]
It takes a tribe to run 50k – Titletown Race Series 2017
Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with the, and it WILL change your life – Amy Poehler Last year at this time, I was spending the day recovering from my (at the time) longest ever run. I finished the Titletown Ultra Series with 26.35 miles in 7 […]
One of the toughest things I ever did! Cellcom Marathon recap
No one said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it! The day that I had been working toward since January finally arrived. The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. I have run this event for 8 out of the last 9 years, either running the 5k or the half marathon. This time, […]
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 […]
Lets run 33 hills! It will be fun!
Yes, I said this, and I will say it again! That is exactly what we did with the Run The Bluegrass (RTB) Half marathon in Lexington Kentucky! Dubbed “America’s Prettiest Half Marathon” and set up with the backdrop of Kentucky Horse Country, it was one race I will never forget! I first heard about this […]
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 […]
Running for chocolate is always a good thing!
But running with friends is always better! When Carrie and I realized that we were both signed up for the Cellcom Full marathon, we knew that we would be spending more time to gether, getting in those long runs on Saturdays! Since the Seroogy 15k/5k race fell on the same weekend that we had 10 […]
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! This week’s Tuesday’s on the Run topic/writing prompt was “What you love […]
Bellin Women’s Half Marathon – better every year!
Forget the meaning of can’t – Sarah Reinersten (Just a note before we get too far! This race was actually back in October 2016. Apparently I started my race recap and never finished it. I figured better late than never!!) Back for year 2! After last years inaugural Bellin Women’s Half Marathon, we all decided that […]
