My injured leg is once again flaring up, sidelining me. I miss running so much it’s just eating at my spirit. The world is on fire and the one thing I’ve really come to count on, I can’t do. I don’t know what bothers me more, the pain in my leg or the soul crushing feeling of being stuck.

Officially deleted my TikTok account and the app. It no longer felt safe even for mindless scrolling. Nowhere does these days. I don’t know how to keep processing these horrors.

Finally had a doc say that running isn’t good for more. Or for anyone. And it’s only a matter of time before every runner ends up with overuse injuries. Not exactly the help I was looking for.

I set out to run 500 miles in 2025. Unfortunately, I didn’t come close, ending at 290. I’m not disappointed. I fought for every one of those miles. Through injuries and setbacks, I kept going. I’ve learned a lot about myself and have found a love for running. Can’t wait to see what 2026 holds.

Gracing the feed with my Christmas Eve babies. Tonight my husband will sleep out on the couch with them to wait for Santa, and it’s one of my favorite traditions.

I haven’t run this week and I feel like I’m about to crawl out of my skin. I swear to God if this snow storm gets in my way tomorrow, I will actually lose my mind.

Feels like temp is predicted to a balmy 8*F at race time tomorrow. Will I actually run remains to be seen…

My mystery (possible) knee pain is flaring up again and I’m SO frustrated. It sent me to PT a year ago and we addressed my hip flexors which are doing great. So what is this now? 😭

After over a year of running, I’ve PR’d my 10k, 5k, and mile in that order over the last 3 Saturdays. I’ve been working so hard to improve my time and this past month has been such validation.

Wine and Dine weekend was a blast. I can’t recommend Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party enough if you have time! But the race was 👩‍🍳💋

I can’t believe I was supposed to be running a half marathon this weekend. Crazy what one small injury can do. My time will come.

Best not mess with me. I run without music, podcasts, or audiobooks. It’s just me, myself, and I on the road.

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

It was absolutely brutal out today. Managed my third best 5k time, so I'll take it. Before and after... I'll be rehydrating for days.

I've been set back to only running a mile and some change at a time as I rehab from shin splints and a foot injury. I decided as long as I'm starting over, let's work on speed and reducing walking breaks. What advice can y'all offer? I'm devastated to be starting over again, so please be kind.

Ran a 5k Saturday night and a 10k Sunday morning. And today I went to urgent care and left in a boot. 😂 Nothing broken but I definitely made something mad. Hopefully it gets better with rest.
