2014-2015

Everyone starts the New Year saying this is my year! 2014 I started it with that in my mind. To wrap up 2014 a few flash backs....

Delirium Ultra- ran 79 miles under 13 hours.

Caumset USA 50k Championships. 2nd Overall Female 3:48:25 Qualified for World Trophy 50k. 

Attempt at USA 24 Hour Team at SC 24 hour. Dropped before 15 hours with 79 miles.

Found out I had a stress fracture in my femur a week after SC 24 hour, next few months dedicated to resting, recovering and healing.

Had to withdrawal from World Trophy 50k


Began to run again, in Altra,Olympus.

Pine Creek 100k, First overall, broke Course Record. 9:44:05

Sloppy Cuckoo 12 hour, First Overall, set new course record. 

Steamtown Marathon, PR, 6th Female overall. 3:02

Became BRL Sports Brand Ambassador 

Ended my 2014 with a 50k in Queens NY, 1st lady, 3:57

Ended 2014 with a few great races and starting into the New Year 2015 with high goals and a lot of motivation.

I will be moving to Columbus GA and I have also accepted a position at Big Dog Running Co.


Also, I have been accepted to be on the Altra Running Team as a brand ambassador. Which I could not be more proud of, ever since coming back from injury I have put all my trust in faith in these sneakers. They truly have saved me and my goals for my future. I couldn't be my proud to be on this team and representing Altra.

Races and Goals for 2015.
•Delirium 6 hour. I would like to run 45-47 miles.
•Caumset USA 50k. I have a 3:30 set as my race goal, but mainly to qualify for World 50k again.
•C&O Canal 100 mile.
•Run 85+ miles in a 12 Hour
•PR a marathon.
•Cremator 50 mile- sub 7 hours.
•Leadville 100. I have entered the lottery and will find out soon if I was picked.

Worlds End Ultra 50k

If you don't look off to the sides, bears aren't there.  If you don't focus so much on the trail infront of you, you don't see snakes...  Maybe that noise I just heard was just some other runner falling into rubbish or maybe it's a bear? Well no bear and no snakes sights during this event, which is a win in my eyes!  World's End Ultra Marathon.   Location: Worlds End State Park, Pennsylvania  Distance: 50k Elevation gain: 6200+ft Course conditions: Wet, Mud Nutrition: 2 liters water, 4 oz coke. Looking back at all the ultra marathons I have ran (over 30 finishes) closer to over 40 If you want to count the few DNFs and a few distance switches. Besides the point, out of 30+ ultras I have ran, Worlds End is the toughest, most challenging course I have come across for the 50k distance, and to make the race even more brutal, we ran it in a heat wave. Rewind to 2 weeks prior. I got an email that my name was selected off the waitlist to be a participant. I ...

Skidaway Island Marathon

Since I ended up getting sick at Caumsett 50k earlier this month I felt like I should jump into another race since I was/am "race ready" I put in the work so I might as well do a race to see where I stand. Skidaway Island Marathon fell on March 26th, which was a good weekend for me to have a race.  I didn't really have a goal in mind for this marathon, other than to have a good race. I thought I may be able to get 3:10/3:15 after hearing the horror stories of how humid/hot and the amount of winding turns being made on course. Weather was calling for thunderstorms, lightening and heavy rain. Yay!! Luckily I wasn't raining at the start. I started out slower than I typically would for a road marathon- which was a good move on my part, I didn't look at my watch from mile 1 to until I reached the half marathon point. I just ran comfortably chatting along with a few other runners.  The course was marked very well- and was it a very zig-zagy course for sure! I'm not ...

RH Armadillo Broil 50k

Training. Or lack of. I took a few months off of running due to a nagging injury... Also, moving to Savannah I was swamped with lack of time and finding a job etc... I decided that I would have to save Leadville Trail 100 for next year, and shoot for a 50k to keep my mind preoccupied.  Armadillo Broil 50k is Richmond Hill GA first Ultra taking place at JF Gregory Park. 3.1 mile loop, mostly paved "trail" and about a mile dirt trail, flat as can be expected for running in the Savannah area. Shade for most of the trail minus the start/finish area. Weather that day was high 80* with a heat index of 112* due to the humidity. Parts of the trail were muggier than others. Race was very well organized, there was a 25k option and 50k option. Great race for runners looking for a long training run for upcoming fall marathons and also great ultra for anyone looking to run their first 50k, my advice, run in the heat to get use to the humidity and also practice nutrition during your long r...
