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

50 Mile Training

The best training cycle I've ever gone through- I kept track of my daily runs/workouts and how I felt on them. - this is before Strava existed 🤣 So here it goes... 2023 RACES Scranton Half Marathon: (goal time: 1:35:00) 1:34:35 Dirty German Endurance 25km: (goal time: 2:05:00) Cayuga 50km :  (goal time: 6:30:00) Pine Creek Challenge 50 Mile: (goal time: 7:15:00) Steamtown Marathon: (goal time: 3:15:00) JFK 50 Mile: (goal time: 7:30:00) March 6th-12th (38.8 miles 1,883ft) Taper for USATF 50k Championships turned into a recovery week. Hip is slightly inflamed due to back nerve issues so made the call to sit out of the National 50k for this year so I can make it to the next starting line.  MONDAY : REST DAY TUESDAY : 7.6 Road Miles : Tempo Bursts. 1.5 WU, 2 min on 1 min off for 5 miles, 1 mile easy.

MIA

I ALMOST completely erased my entire "One Run Closer" blog that I started back in early 2014, reading through all my past training, race goals and race recaps left me realizing how much I changed since I found this sport.  I decided to leave my blog be, after all in some moment of time what I wrote meant something significant to me. Even though so much has changed, I changed, it may be all those instances, all those injuries, all those jabs in life that made me who I am today. Moving forward, and looking to find something that will give me significance and a reason to feel the fire again and also keep me accountable and most importantly find mindfulness and joy in life and running again. I feel that I should go into depth of where I am coming from to explain why I am here. 8 years ago or more I was once wrote about being one of the best female ultra runners on the East Coast. Still to this day I never thought that as being true. Yes, I won ultras, claimed and brok
