First Blog :)

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my FIRST OFFICIAL BLOG POST! I am super excited to start this journey as a writer, runner, and girl living her life one mile at a time. I decided to start this blog to share my story, connect with others, and hopefully motivate and inspire others who are facing struggles, stuck in a rut, or just want some entertainment!

I am a 21 year old endurance athlete and student. I have run 4 full marathons, all of which were under 3 hours, my best being my first in 2022, the Indianapolis Marathon, in 2:55:19. I have also run 3 half marathons (PR of 1:23:40), one 50K race (3:56:00) and am training for my FIRST 50 MILER in June! In the past I competed in CrossFit for a majority of years, did a lot of functional fitness, triathlons, and powerlifting before finally settling on my LOVE for running trumping it all. I have also struggled with my fair share of eating disorders and disordered eating patterns, self doubt, anxiety, and loss of my best friend. My goal in these blog posts will be to share what works for me, having to face adversity, especially when I don't believe in myself, and what my past struggles have taught me. I am in no way perfect, actually I am quite far from it. I hope to help others facing similar struggles, while also showing what my life looks like while I try and figure it out myself!
