I woke up even earlier than my typical 5:00 AM rising
time on Sunday, February 15th, to get dressed and ready for the 14th
Annual Lost Dutchman Marathon. While washing my eyes out and getting my brain
going, I felt a little strange. Here I was, on the morning of a full, 26.2 mile
marathon and I didn’t feel the pre-race jitters typical of race day. I didn’t
have any gear laid out or prepared, except for the race number that I attached
to my race belt the night before. I got dressed the same way I get dressed for
a long run and I decided, last minute, to bring along a hand-held bottle. I
stuffed some Honey Stinger Energy Chews into my belt, threw on my Road Runner
Sports hat and headed out the door.

I’m Back! Sorry About The Break…
It has been a pretty long while since I’ve posted
anything and for that, I need to apologize to anyone who might read this blog.
I went back to school to finish my degree in Exercise Science and between that,
coaching for Racelab and getting all my running in, I haven’t had much of a
moment to sit down and write. But since life is all about finding a balance, I
have carved out some time to update you, my tiny audience, about my training
and my journey.
The
training for the 7 Dirty Thirties is going really well. I am getting all my
long runs in, recovering well, and feeling stronger and stronger every week.
Currently, I am averaging between 60 and 70 miles a week, with easy weeks at
around 40-50 miles. This will continue growing over the next few months, and I
am very excited to see what I am capable of.
