Spring Training 🌸☀️
Mother Nature's springtime beauty is in full force. Easy recovery runs that keep my HR in zones 2 and 3 are much more challenging than any speed workout or interval run. Letting my HR dictate the pace provides ample opportunity to enjoy the warm sunshine, beautiful flowers and birds chirping among stunning mountain view's. Spring [...]
Running Therapy 🏃🏻♀️💗
Wednesday is always speed work and interval training. Improving speed and racing performance happens long before I lace up my shoes on race day. It starts in my mind and is proven the moment I set foot on the track or at the starting line. My brain and body must work together to create a [...]
Recovery Run 💗
Don't let my smile fool you, the last 24 hours have been rough. Hope changed to reality and deep sadness. Sometimes life can break us. Take us to the extreme and then ask for all you have. It's challenging and difficult and situations happen beyond your individual ability to change and control. Death sobers and [...]
Majestic Mountain Beauty 🏔💗
Sunrise in Northern Utah's mountains never disappoints. After a long work week, there's a temptation to sleep in and relax. However, as the spring flowers bloom and weather begins to warm, this familiar canyon calls my name. In this picture I stand approximately 10 miles from my front door. Behind me, glorious 11,752ft snow- capped [...]

With a Canyon 3 miles from my front door, and trails into the mountains that are apart of my city, my options are endless. The view [...]
Wanna-be Wednesday 🏃🏻♀️
#speedwork #intervaltraining #hiit #runningcommunity #trackandfield #binghamhighschool #lonepeak I wasn't sure what I'd find when I went to the track after work today. Sometimes my local high school track has the team running workouts the last period of the day. I hate mooching off their time and space but sometimes I don't have a choice. I'm [...]
Marathon Monday 💙💛 #Bostonstrong
Out today on the Utah trails thinking of everyone at #Boston running. 💙💛 Only 364 sleeps till it's my turn to be #Bostonstrong Today, I tan a virtual 5k (and then some) for #teamsparkle as they run #Boston4Rett and raise awareness for this painful disease.
Southern Utah Half Marathon
Southern Utah is world renowned for its majestic mountains and arid natural beauty. When the sun rises and starts to warm the red rocked landscape, the view is inspiring. The horizon develops a warm glow that is unlike anything I've seen anywhere else; I absolutely love it. When I woke up Friday morning to a [...]
