Read below: Perky: Your name is beautiful. How do YOU pronounce it, and where is it from?Follow-up: what brought … Continue reading That is DOCTOR trail queen to you; A Team FLR profile
First Light Racing – Team Profile – Wayne Schlosser
One of my favorite things about running is the people. I've met some amazing humans on the trails, and through the online running community. Running is such a unifying sport, and it's an honor to have gotten to run for so many amazing groups, even though I'm a back-of-the-pack girl! Being an inaugural member of … Continue reading First Light Racing – Team Profile – Wayne Schlosser

Peers out of her cave, 1 year later…
Well, it's been a proper year since I DNS'd my 50 Miler at Rocky Raccoon. I've mourned. I've eaten my emotions, I've felt not-enough, I've murdered my own confidence, and I've very sufficiently lost myself. And that stops now. Sometimes, you have to send out a hail Mary, so here is mine. I'm going to … Continue reading Peers out of her cave, 1 year later…

After some months working together, we decided I was ready for a 50 miler. I chose Rocky. In January, I was accepted by … Continue reading Rocky Raccoon 50M Race Report – the race that never was

I see…
We are in a weird place in womanhood. We are all seeking to be a bastardized version of Wonder Woman, both strong and delicate, while simultaneously spewing insults and bravado about the unity of women. We create a pinterest-positive-persona with barnwood signs on our hearts that say, "strong women; may we know them, may we … Continue reading I see…

Shoe Drop Questions Answered
Just kidding! You should all know by now that I don't actually know useful science, in this capacity. However, if you'd like to discuss the deleterious effects of estrogen on the rat middle cerebral artery, or the systemic hypotensive effects of testosterone, I can totally hang. This post, however, will be mostly ridiculousness. What is … Continue reading Shoe Drop Questions Answered

Eating healthy, Trying to be an awesome mom, ALL THE FAILURE
Have you ever heard of Jack Fruit? I've seen it online all over the place lately. It's huge and weird and exotic, and apparently the fancy new super food de jure. It looks like this: The exterior is prickly, and hard, in a weirdly artistic, mind-numbing, hypnotic sort of way. Upon first view, I assume … Continue reading Eating healthy, Trying to be an awesome mom, ALL THE FAILURE
