My Feelings on Running Boston without Running a BQ

My Feelings on Running Boston without Running a BQ

I have been very vocal about both my goal to BQ and my goal to run all six Marathon Majors before I'm 30. When I discovered that I wouldn't be running the Tokyo marathon in Feb I worried that I wouldn't be able to achieve my goal, especially with my 3 month hospital...

How to Deal with a Partner That Isn’t Into Running or Fitness

How Far Have You Come On Your Fitness Journey?

A Confidence Boosting PB

A Confidence Boosting PB

How I Convince Myself to Get Up for a 5AM Run

How I Convince Myself to Get Up for a 5AM Run

This morning I did not want to get up. I could have given you 1000 reasons why going back to sleep for another 1.5hrs would have been best for everyone, but somehow I dragged myself out of my horizontal cocoon, put on some rather mismatching kit, and completed my 8+...
