…and did I mention the retreat swag bag (includes HOKA shoes)!
One foot in front of the other… keep moving… breath. The sport of ultrarunning shares a strikingly beautiful resemblance to life itself, a metaphor set in motion on a regular ole’ girl’s night out…
Is it that freedom feels like racing the downhill sections with airplane arms outstretched? That it feels like exploring the natural world in a childlike way, pointing out the wild flowers and butterflies with pure joy?
Let’s face it, I have no business being on the bike trainer at all. See, my primary sport is trail running and I run ultras which gives me plenty of cardio and outdoor time…

As I write this reflection, I’m in late-phase recovery. I’m not running yet, but I can hike and bike a little. When I return to running, I know I will face the voices in my head telling me to be careful and trying to talk me out of attempting technical trails.

But after a year of blood pressure values slowly creeping up, at my annual GYN exam in October 2023, I was finally asked the question: “Are you on blood pressure medication?” I was stunned.
Running through the winter can be challenging and staying motivated takes some planning. I have found that signing up for an early season race can help me get me out the door when conditions are anything but perfect.
