Fun of the RunEpisode 41: Just Because You Can Doesn’t Mean You ShouldYes, I said it. And yes, I’m talking (mostly) about new-ish runners in this episode. If your bestie jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too?? Exactly!! You wouldn’t. Just because “everyone” is running a marathon or an ultra or a 100 miler or running shirtless or picking their nose or whatever…doesn’t mean you have to do it, too.

It seems like all of 2023 has been leading up to this race. It was incredibly hard, but it was made so much better by having my IG friend Chris Morrison ( @chrismorrison_runs) along to pace me through the entire thing!

Fun of the RunEpisode 34: “The Race is Now Over…Move to the Sidewalk”Hearing that the race was over was such a disheartening moment during my 2022 Chicago Marathon experience. Those runners who are truly at the back of the pack face challenges faster runners may not ever even consider. It takes a special kind of determination to keep going when you’re told to move to the sidewalk and when mileage markers, aid stations and most of the cheering crowd are gone. What can we as the running community do to make races less intimidating for slower runners?

Fun of the RunEpisode 28: Bean Rollups, A Denim Skirt and An Unexpected Race RecapYou’re only crazy if you think you are…so that must mean I’m nuts.

Fun of the RunEpisode 25: Life, Running and Trying Not to Lose My MarblesIt isn't always easy to juggle running, life, crazy weather and people who want us to spend time with them. But we do the best we can! This episode shares some of what that juggling act looks like from my perspective. I touch on a couple of recent heat-related deaths in Maricopa County, Arizona and how I've recently been dealing with summer training.
