I am still processing this one - a 3:09:08 and 9 min PR at the St. George marathon 🏔️ ✨

One of the fastest marathons run by a female amputee and hands-down one of the most beautiful, well-run races I’ve experienced.

Each mile was a reminder of what consistency, belief, and love for the sport can do. Nothing flashy, just steady work - day after day - and a deep trust in the process.

Huge thanks to the St. George marathon team for an incredible event and for welcoming me as an elite entry. I am so grateful to be part of a community that celebrates all kinds of strength. 💙

Focus forward —> NYC marathon 11/2 and BAA Half marathon 11/9

Might as well dream big and see where that takes you! Otherwise you’ll never know what you’re truly capable of.

As an anesthesiologist and pain doctor, running marathons has always seemed a little silly. No lives are on the line if I don’t make it to the finish line. And yet as we sit here on the bus waiting to drive the 26.2 mile to the start line the anxiety is palpable.

The mix of emotions- excitement, anxiety, joy, dread- is contagious. Taking on a challenge -whether you’re running your first marathon or going for a personal (or worlds) best - requires believing in yourself, trusting yourself (and the process) and learning to be ok with whatever the day holds.

It’s so much more than just running 26.2 miles. It’s about trust, growth, resilience.

The hard work is done. 4am mornings, 50 mile weeks, long runs and tempo efforts. Now it’s time to rest up, stay healthy and trust in the training.

My goal for St. George is aggressive but isn’t that the point? Shouldn’t your goals scare you a little?

Despite an excellent training cycle I can feel the nerves kick up when I think about the pace goal I’m shooting for. But I also know I’m ready.

What goals do you have in mind?

T-17 days until @stgeorgemarathon! The volume is peaking and the legs are screaming. Looking forward to some recovery after this week.

Today is 3 miles easy then 5 x 1k at sub-threshold pace with 1 min recovery. Followed by another 25 to round out the week.

Let’s go!

I used to think being unbreakable was the ultimate goal. It turns out it’s not about never breaking. It’s learning how to be flexible when you inevitably do.

✨ True strength lives in being flexible

👉 When things don’t go your way, do you tend to bend or do you break?

🏃‍♀️ Backstory: I tripped and fell training for the Speedgoat 50k, tearing a ligament in my thumb. I was able to get back to modified training while in the post-op splint and cast, but it was less than ideal for summer training in FL.

Happy Global Running Day 🏃‍♀️

I’ve been fortunate to have a running blade since I was in my teens. And while I still struggle to get the perfect fit, I couldn’t imagine life without running.

Right now I’m shifting from road work to trails in preparation for the Speedgoat 50. For most that means switching out their shoes. For me it means, a new foot, tread and alignment!

And while it might not be dialed in just yet, we’re getting there. And I won’t give up on it. Because running has given me too much - my physical health, mental health and a community for life.

And lucky for me, it just keeps giving.

Stay tuned for more season updates and lifestyle hacks to run further, faster, longer.
