The Weekly Recap – March 2, 2025
Last week wasn’t too bad overall. Happy that I knocked out 4 runs, but sad that two were on road vs more trail time. Moving forward – from now until race day I will be working towards more time on feet methodology vs just pure miles. That being said, the miles will come, as they…

Slow start to the week, but even with the travel to the West Coast, I’m happy to have logged 20 miles. The trail runs in SoCal were definitely the highlight! Starting in March, I’ll be shifting my focus from tracking miles to prioritizing time on feet—which should naturally lead to more miles. The goal is…

Getting back to the weekly posts…. and this past week, I logged just under 15 miles—not bad at all, considering my main focus right now is time on feet rather than chasing mileage. The miles will come, but getting my body used to sustained movement is the priority. Saturday’s long run was a solid one:…
Read MoreThree Weeks, One Update: Running Through the Chaos
So… three weeks without a weekly update? What gives? Well, life gives—and takes. Energy, time, motivation, and whatever else it feels like snatching up in the moment.

So, apparently I was down 9% from previous week. But ya know what? I’m totally okay with it. Not each week has to be the same or even up. Rest is important and if that is what I needed, so be it. Strava Stats – Jan 13 – Jan 19, 2025 18.6 miles ran 3hrs…
Read MoreOvercoming Imposter Syndrome, One Mile at a Time
It might sound strange, but even after countless hours of training runs and ultra-marathons, I still sometimes feel like an imposter. Whether I’m out on the trails or hanging with my running club, there’s this nagging voice saying, “You don’t really belong here.” Silly, right? But brains are funny like that. This year, I decided…

Another week in the books with a decent amount of miles covered. Then again, it’s not really about the miles vs time on feet. Either way, I’ll accept it for what it was. Needed. That being said, I am kinda bummed that I didn’t get any trail miles last week. Had planned on either Saturday…

Read MoreOne Foot in Front of the Other: How Parker’s Resilience is Fueling My Runs
