Monday’s Recovery

It's the first day of Fall Break 2018, and it started at 1:11 a.m. for me. I woke up to those burns on my arms from the Holy Sheet obstacle at the Savage GA, Fall 2018 edition. See below. This was my 20th or so attempt, and the 3rd time I'd tried the "chicken wing" … Continue reading Monday’s Recovery →

Me.

I'm a wife, mother of three daughters, 7th grade English teacher, and obstacle course racer. After getting English degrees in college, I went on to get a MAT in English so I could be in the classroom. Then, I joined the Army National Guard, and was enlisted before becoming an officer. In 2006, I lost … Continue reading Me. →

Whipped Well

That's pretty much how I felt after the race in Tahoe! We knew the water would be warmer than last year, but I didn't prep for the wind that tortured us for the majority of the race. The wind, combined with the dust on top of the mountain, in what is called the "Soccer Field" … Continue reading Whipped Well →

I decided to skip the first Spartan Pro Team media event weeks ago so I could be here for my two younger daughters and this night. Pulling my hamstring last weekend was God's way of saying I needed to just be still and listen and trust Him. . I've decided I won't let judgemental people, hateful, jealous people who spread rumors, to take away from this important night for my two younger daughters. . I'm deciding to be thankful for real friends who have been willing to step up after we were left months ago, wondering what happened. My girls deserved to feel like little princesses for a night, rather than sit home because someone cancelled on them with no words. . Thank you to their big sis for helping them sparkle! . #godisgood #teacher #mom #spartan #betteroff #nothingtohide #mommabear #spartanpro #magical #believe #faith #overcome
Hump Day? Naw. More like Wet Wednesday. So. Much. Rain. . This is what it feels like right now. 😂😂 Guess what? It's going to rain until Saturday or Sunday! . #godisgood #teacher #mom #spartan #altraredteam #spartanelites #love #winning #ocr #aroo #spartanpro #rain #humpday #wednesday #justkeepswimming
One of my fave race shirts ever (out of hundreds!!!)! . Why? Well...it's super soft, and...unicorn! . #godisgood #teacher #mom #spartanelite #spartanpro #thinblueline #letsdoit #forever #unicorn #trailrunning #photooftheday #instarunner
Another round with these! Really loving the Superior 4's! I'll keep using my Superior 3.5's on a rotation, but these will be my primary training shoe as I move into the spring, more racing, and lots of (finally!) outside miles! . Lots of walking today, for recovery and to let this hamstring heal up...again. . P.S. These Altra tights are super soft and the safest pair for outside running in the evenings. They reflect light like no other! . #godisgood #teacher #mom #spartan #spartanelites #love #winning #ocr #aroo #altraredteam #spartanpro #letsdoit
Had a great race weekend with two first place finishes! Struggling with my hamstring again, to the point where it hurts to walk or have any pressure on it, so no race for me this upcoming weekend. 😥 . Grateful as always for what God allows me to keep doing, and for support and love and warmth. . #godisgood #teacher #mom #spartan #medalmonday #spartanelites #love #winning #ocr #aroo #altraredteam #nevergiveup #neverquit #ambition #trailrunning #instarunner #spartanpro
3rd overall, 1st place female! . A 7.3 mile trail race this morning, and it was muddy with some tough climbs. As always, @runnrc puts on a race that feels like everyone is family! Very well done race! . Time was 56:35. . Other than my left hamstring pulling in between miles 4 and 5, I felt really good! Beat my time from last year by two minutes! . Another race this morning, and like last year, God allowed me to make it through another back-to-back race weekend with two wins. . #godisgood #teacher #mom #spartan #aroo #runner #trailrunning #instafitness #instarunner #spartanpro #run
