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 ...

No Pressure, just smiles.

Decided to move up from 12 hour to the 24 hour for NJ Trail Series One Day race on November 8.  Why I moved up, has a lot to do with my upcoming race calendar. I've been trying to find a 100 to run this winter, but I couldn't find anything decently close. I feel like I'm ready for that distance, I'm curious to know what I can do. I have only ran one 100, that was on very little training and I walked the last 30 miles( 2 years ago ). So NJ One Day just fitting so perfectly with how I'm feeling about my training, also I planned on running 80-85 miles during the 12 hours, I'm also running a 12 hour (track) Dawn 2 Dusk 2 Dawn end of May and I believe my 80-85+ mile will be better off me pushing it hard on that track. Also, the 12 hour event at One Day starts at 9pm, I have nothing against night running, after all I will be doing it in the 24 hour after running 12 hours already....   As for my goals now for NJ One Day. Well, I know this is one of the last 24 hour eve...

Gearing up for training for 50k Championships

15 weeks until Caumsett USA 50k Championships!!! I don't have my races planned until after Caumsett. Which is great, gives my body time to rest, recover and a lot of time to get me in the best shape I can for championships. Last year I ran 3:48:26 (2nd over all female) also qualified me for World Trophy in Qatar. This was a 14 minute PR in 50k distance. Running this time was a little shocking since 2 weeks prior I ran 79 miles within 13 hours of a 24 hour race. I wasn't training for a 50k, so I am excited to see with focusing on that what I can do. Over the past 2 months I have won and set over all course records at Pine Creek 100k, and Sloppy Cuckoo 12 hour. Also, I have hit my PR in marathon distance (3:02) which was also only 2 weeks post a 12 hour race, again with not focusing on marathon training. I plan to take 2 weeks off (but still running maintenance miles and strength training). After that I plan to focus all my energy into 50k training. The race is in Long Island NY....
