Trail Sisters Half Marathon

Heyo Trail Sister!

We have just opened up registration for our annual Trail Sisters Women’s Trail Half Marathon hosted in my hometown of Buena Vista, Colorado. Each year this event is attended by hundreds of Trail Sisters from across the globe!

The course is 13.1 miles that twist and turn through sage brush and ponderosa pines, all while providing stunning views of the prestige Collegiate Peaks. You’ll cross bridges over the Arkansas River and have beautiful Rocky Mountain views.

We hope you’ll consider joining us!

A Different Kind of Search and Rescue

It’s hard to make friends as an adult. Add in introvert tendencies. Multiply that by a new city. Raise it the power of the pandemic. In early 2020, I was a year into a new job in a new part of the country…

Rebuilding through Running

Through these races and the training in between, I focused on self-connection. As I lovingly pushed to my edge, I felt and let go of sensations of shame and brokenness and stoked the fire of passion and aliveness. I wrapped up my 5-in-’22 goal two weeks before undergoing surgery…

How I View My Body’s Resilience

Often, I catch myself blaming my body for falling short of my expectations. While those moments are less frequent and less debilitating, they still happen. My guess is that they happen to you as well. Those are the battles that help build us, though.

My Mother’s Wild Daughter

As I stood with my daughter at the trailhead, listening to the trees whisper and the wind start to rise, I whispered to her, too. I told her that the world was wide, strange, dangerous, and beautiful. I told her that matter where I went, no matter how far, there was always something just around the corner.

Add an Egg

Just add an egg… they are a great source of protein and so versatile. One egg has approximately 7g of protein, and, in dietetics is considered the reference protein (100), which all other protein is measured against. This is because an egg has all nine essential amino acids and has the highest digestibility score…
