The Pinhoti 100 was a challenging course, especially for someone who lives in a state without much elevation and wasn’t prepared for the downhill side of things! Regardless, it was still a great adventure even though I pulled out after 55 miles. After running out of two water bottles on a challenging 3+ mile stretch […]
Finished today with 30 miles. I ran 8 miles before pacing the 5:00 marathon training group at Running Wild for 20 miles, then I ran the last 2 miles home. So proud of the training groups this week!
To celebrate my birthday, I wanted to adventure out further on my running mileage. I was supposed to run my first 100k a month before, but it got cancelled (due to the course being damaged from bad weather) so I figured I’d run my own. After looking for a route that will allow me to […]
Starting around mile 35-40 I started dealing with some asthma and wiggly legs building up (reminded me of when I passed out at my first marathon). I felt my body was telling me the 100 mile run can wait for another day and I pulled out with a DNF at the aid station at mile […]
I live in Northwest Florida and there are a lot of bays around the area (Pensacola Bay, Escambia Bay, East Bay, Blackwater Bay). After growing up on Blackwater Bay and now living right by Escambia Bay, I wanted to do a run that would take me all around the bays while helping me get some […]
Located near the small city of Alexander City in Alabama, Lake Martin is known for it’s beautiful views and boating. This was my first 50 mile distance ever and it was well organized and put together by the race director. The run is entirely on the private lands of the Russell Forest Trail System which […]
Although I had already ran a 30 mile run before (Octabridge Run), the 2015 Blackwater Trail Challenge 50k was my first ultramarathon distance that was a trail run. Running through the Blackwater State Park for the first time helped me fuel my desire to focus on endurance running instead of just street races. The natural […]
The Octabridge run was actually the Double Bridge Run 15k, but I ran to it from my house, I then ran the race from Downtown Pensacola to Pensacola Beach, then I ran back home from there. Eight bridges were crossed so I called it the Octabridge Run (instead of the Double Bridge Run). I included […]
The Octabridge run was a combination of back-to-back runs that went over eight bridges and was built around the Double Bridge Run from Downtown Pensacola to Pensacola Beach. The run was split up within 3 phases: Phase 1: run from my house out to the beach. Phase 2: run the double bridge run (from downtown […]
