I have always been that person who packs entirely too much for a short weekend trip. For awhile it was cute, but the older I got and the more frustrating airline travel got, I became less thrilled with how I was packing. I started consciously trying to pack less – now I am at the […]
Berlin Marathon Race Recap
So, I did a thing. I ran the Berlin Marathon. This was my first international race and I set a big goal of running a sub-4 marathon. This was my first sub-4 attempt and I did not run sub-4, but did PR by a good bit. I ran 4:14:10 and like I said in my […]
Berlin Marathon Race Goals
It is race week and I am finally ready to settle on my race goals for the Berlin Marathon. The race is fast approaching and I am ready! A Goal: 3:55. This is the pace I have been training for (equates to an 8:58 pace) and I am confident that I can run this pace. […]
Dealing with Mental Doubts
I often get the impression that people assume that because I am pretty positive, I don’t deal with doubts when it comes to my running and racing. The truth is, nothing could be further from the truth. I struggle with mental doubts often but try to be as positive as I can in dealing with […]

We are getting so close, y’all. As I write this, I only have two workouts left. Taper starts on Thursday. I am feeling strong and ready. I had some mental doubts I dealt with this week (I will write about this in a separate post), but I was able to speak positivity into my running and […]
Berlin Marathon Training Recap – Three Weeks To Go!
We are getting so close, y’all. This weekend is my last long run (I’ll be running a half marathon as a marathon day simulation) and I only have a handful of workouts left. Taper starts at the end of next week – I can’t believe it’s almost here. This training cycle has felt long but […]
DMV Birdcamp 2017 – AKA Adult Running Camp
When I went to my first “birdcamp” (adult running camp for women on the Oiselle running team), it seemed new and novel and I didn’t know if many other camps for adult runners. Now, a couple years later it seems that in addition to camps that been around for years, like Zap down in NC, […]
Berlin Marathon Training Recap, Week 14

Aside from my brief calf scare, training has gone really well and I am feeling motivated and strong. Only 6 more hard workouts before the taper! I can.not.wait. The Hanson plan only does […]
