Reflecting on my Jordan Return Year
Everyone talks about the Jordan Year, and they mean the year of 23. You know what? For me, that was a wild year, and there are some pieces I can remember with a lot of detail, and a lot I will never get back. Like the fact that it was the year I moved from … Continue reading…

Wide Open Spaces: My Stride & Story Retreat Experience
Last week at speed work, one of my friends said he wanted to hear everything about my retreat experience and as I prepared to hit the start button for my next lap, I said “I cried every morning during the writing workshops, if that tells you anything”. That probably sounded as…

Healthy Recipe: Turkey, Quinoa and Butternut Squash Chili
I first posted this recipe back in 2013. As I was creating my meal plan for this week, I decided this was perfect but I needed to make some updates to it. After traveling for the Stride & Story retreat for the last several days it was a good excuse to whip up a slow … Continue…

Healthy Recipe: Peanut Butter Apple Protein Oatmeal

Choosing a redemption race
Prior to reviving my blog, I ran a bucket list race, SeaWheeze Half Marathon, in Vancouver with Lululemon. The race weekend was sublime. Vancouver was magical. The race itself was great, but hilly. And I missed my time goal by 75 seconds. I was disappointed but the fact that I…

Taper Time: “I get so emotional baby”
If you follow me on Strava you either think I’m crazy, or know that I use song lyrics to name my runs. Or both, I suppose they aren’t independent. And I don’t plan to name every blog post with a song lyric but this one felt right. The taper is a wild and wonderful thing. ……

In defense of eating
I’m not sure this is something that really needs a defense, but I’m seeing a crazy amount of things in my feed by athletes who are borderline promoting disordered eating. Since screaming into the void or talking about it while running with a friend isn’t broad enough, I…
