I Have The Runs

I'm a mom in my mid-40s who’s been running for nearly 20 years — from speedy 5Ks to grueling 50-milers. Running has been my constant through life’s many seasons, juggling work, parenting, and everything in between. Now, it’s time to chase the big one: the 100-mile race.

I don’t have a set training plan (life with kids and unpredictable schedules doesn’t allow for much rigidity), but I’ve got two decades of grit, experience, and love for the run to guide me. Follow along as I prepare for my most ambitious challenge yet — one mile, one moment at a time.
