how did you get into the longer ultras?
The same way anybody gets into running! Starts with a mile. Then 5Ks. Eventually a full marathon. The main switch point for me was when the stress of hitting exact paces/places in races became too much. You can’t compare one trail mile to the next, or one 50K to another 50K. I am lucky to be surrounded by a lot of badass women who pursued 100-milers and helped guide me. When the opportunity came up, I had to try it. You never know how far you can go until you go there, ya know? And don’t we all like to get a little uncomfortable in the running space? 😊

Life update:
After months of working my actual butt off, ya girl won the non-elite women’s division of Run Rabbit Run 100-miler over the weekend. 15th out of ~430 total people who started.
Body and mind are still in shock, but heart is undoubtedly full ❤️

Do you mind if I ask your name? You look SO much like my good friend from elementary school who moved away 😭
Initials at the time (before I got married) were SB!

Pro tip: If your friend asks if you want to run the 40-mile Teton Crest Trail… Do it. 🤩 It will blow your mind.

Sometimes adventure calls but all your friends are busy and you go solo anyway and it’s a little freaky to not see a soul for 10ish miles in the backcountry, but then you’re blessed with a majestic 12-point bull and the lakes are stunning and you dunk your head in all of them and it is one of the best mountain runs of your life. 🤩

Oh, I guess now’s a good time to mention I ran my dream race in April — a 100K in Zion — and then we got to camp in the park. It was every bit as amazing and exhausting and exhilarating as you’d imagine (even though I missed a turn and ran ~7.7 extra miles!!).

In the night while my body slept in my bed
My mind was running through the woods instead
One hundred miles an hour in the fast lane
One hundred miles an hour in my head

Miss big mountain running more than anything, but at least the trails are dry where I can still admire some of ‘em 🥰
