This is why I do what I do 💚

Kimberly came to me 6ish months ago dealing with shin splints that kept derailing her training. She was frustrated, nervous about building mileage, and honestly? A little skeptical that anything would actually work.

Fast forward to this weekend: She just PRed her half marathon by 15 MINUTES. Zero shin splint flare-ups. Two successful training cycles. And a whole lot of confidence in her body’s ability to handle the work.

The difference? We didn’t just rest and hope for the best.

We:
→ Built the strength her body was missing
→ Incorporated smart speed work
→ Focused on recovery that actually works
→ Treated the root cause, not just the symptoms

Kimberly, I’m SO proud of you for showing up, trusting the process, and doing the hard work even when it wasn’t easy.

CONGRATULATIONS! This is YOUR win 🙌

Chilly morning. Perfect pace. Even better company! ☕️

Paces the 15k this morning for and came in at a 10:58 average mile (pretty much nailed that 11:00 pace if I do say so myself 😉)

But honestly? The best part wasn’t the pace. It was running alongside some of my friends and meeting some new running friends. The conversations. The encouragement. The shared miles.

That’s what running is really about. Showing up for each other, one mile at a time.

Who else raced this weekend??

This morning I had the honor of pacing the Spooky Sprint Half Marathon and wow, the stories out on that course reminded me exactly why I love this sport. 🧡👟

My pace partner and I met a runner in his 80s who routinely runs half and full marathons (yes, you read that right — 80s!). We also met a runner in his 60s who had a heart attack while running a few years ago. After his recovery, he laced his shoes back up and runs 15Ks, half marathons, and full marathons. Talk about resilience!

These runners are living proof that running isn’t just about speed or medals: it’s about determination, community, and the simple joy of being out there, one foot in front of the other.

And a huge shoutout to my friend Kimberly, who walk-ran the 10K today! 🎉 It doesn’t matter your pace or your approach. Showing up, moving forward, and crossing that finish line is what it’s all about!

As someone who works with injury-prone runners, I’m constantly reminded that comebacks come in all forms. Whether you’re rebuilding after an injury, an illness, or a setback, your story matters. Your strength inspires others more than you know.

What an honor it is to pace, to cheer, and to witness the unstoppable spirit of runners at every stage of life and recovery. 🏃‍♀️💜

💜 Post-Race Reflection: Chicago Marathon 2025

This training cycle tested me in ways I didn’t expect.

For months, I’ve been running with iron deficiency — something I now realize was likely affecting me the entire cycle. Despite taking oral iron supplements for two months, my ferritin (iron stores) actually dropped. Just a week before race day, I was able to get a last-minute iron infusion through , and I’m so grateful for their help getting my levels back up in time to even toe the line in Chicago.

Race day was hard from the start. My heart rate was high, I felt emotional before I even crossed the start line, and nausea stuck with me for most of the race. It wasn’t the day I trained for — but I finished. And after everything this training cycle has thrown my way, I’m incredibly proud of that.

I couldn’t have done this alone.

💜 To my dietitian, — thank you for being such a rockstar provider, for every text, every check-in, and for helping me navigate this iron journey with patience and care. I wouldn’t have made it without you.

💜 To my husband, parents, sister-in-law and family — thank you for coming to Chicago and running your own marathon as spectators. You made me feel seen every single mile.

💜 To my O’Fallon Ladies on the Run crew — you all carried me through every long run, every tough morning, and every mental wall. Your support and friendship mean more than you know.

💜 And to every friend who sent good luck messages or checked on me afterward — your words and love reminded me how lucky I am to have such a strong community behind me.

This race may not have been my best on paper, but it was one of my proudest finishes yet.

Because sometimes the real victory isn’t the time on the clock — it’s finding the strength to keep showing up, even when your body and mind are tired.

12/10/2025

Chicago, you were emotional in every sense of the word. 🏙️💜

It wasn’t my day — but it also wasn’t my worst. The race didn’t unfold the way I hoped, but I’m incredibly proud of the fight I brought and the strength it took to cross that finish line.

Running for the Alzheimer’s Association and in memory of my grandmother hit me hard — in the best, most humbling way. Every cheer, every mile, every ache in my legs reminded me why I was out there.

Some races give you a PR. Others give you perspective.
This one gave me both gratitude and purpose.

Proud. Emotional. Humbled.
And already dreaming of what’s next. 💜

Thank you Chicago!!

’Twas the night before race day, and all through Chicago,
Runners were resting, their hearts all aglow.

The shoes were all lined up, the gels in their place,
The nerves and excitement danced a fast-paced race.

Tomorrow, I’ll toe the line at the Chicago Marathon — running in memory of my grandmother and in support of the Alzheimer’s Association. 💜

This training cycle has been full of lessons in patience, resilience, and gratitude. Every mile has been a reminder of why I run — not just for the finish line, but for the why behind it.

Tomorrow, I’ll carry my grandmother’s memory with me through every neighborhood, every cheer zone, and every step toward that finish line.

Here’s to celebrating the journey, honoring those we love, and running with purpose. 💜

Let’s do this, Chicago! 🏃‍♀️✨

Nothing like a fun run to expose the kinks in your race-day plan. 😂

This morning’s Swifty Fun Run Half Marathon doubled as my long run:
✅ 2 miles before the race to make it 15 total
✅ Mostly easy miles to build endurance
✅ A few marathon-pace miles at the end for a strong finish

But the real goal? Treat it like race day without the pressure.
That means testing:
🥤 Pre-Run and Intra-Run fueling strategy
💧 Water station timing
🥤 Tailwind mixing on the move (still a little clumsy…. Needs work lol 🤷‍♀️)
👟 Gear and outfit choices

Every long run is a chance to figure this stuff out so you’re not experimenting when it matters most. Because the golden rule is simple: nothing new on race day.

Race day magic comes from doing the “boring” prep now so when the start gun goes off, all you have to do is run. 😀

29/07/2025

And not just any run. One where you feel strong, confident, and pain-free ✨
Every run is a chance to rebuild trust with your body.
You’ve got this 🏃‍♀️

✈️ Decided on Wednesday to book a flight for Thursday. Landed in California to see family… and ended up booking a half marathon for my long run.

Zero planning. No expectations. Just a chance to move, connect, and remind myself why I love this sport.

My parents even jumped into the 5k!

No matter the distance, book the race.
Run with others. Feel the energy. Enjoy moving your body, even if you’re not chasing a PR!

You never know how much you’ll love it until you do it.
