The first post!

Hello and welcome to my website! Why have a website? I wanted to connect with a broader audience, share my stories and adventures, and to host my professional trail running and coaching career on a platform. It all starts somewhere, right!

Reflecting back a year ago, I was preparing for my second longest race I had ever run. Canyons Endurance 100k. That winter I skied a lot! And through self-coaching, I trained hard with many 25hr plus weeks. It clearly paid off when I hits the course leaving Auburn running up the Western States Trail. At that time, I still didn’t understand exactly how emblematic the Western States trail was, or what that race means. I suppose I won’t until I run the Western States 100 mile race either. But it’s always so fascinating to reflect on where you were a year ago. Especially those life changing, pivotal moments, where a new path unfolds before you. And you can either take the leap, off a path that feels safe and cozy, to brave something new, exciting, risky and uncertain. That I did. And here I am.
