Oh, Canada and Beyond

As I sit here in Ohio, with 2 days until our big marathon, I am thinking about all the places we have been since our last big race in Minnesota. Our plan after SwimRun Minnesota was to head north to Canada to visit our…

IGNITE Minnesota

It has been almost a month since our 2nd SwimRun race, IGNITE Minnesota. This race definitely ranks as one of the most entertaining and challenging races that I have completed. SwimRun is not like any other sport. It’s not triathlon without a bike, it…

Black Hills and Badlands

I have always valued my friendships and felt that quality is much more important than quantity. Having friends that really know me, really care about me and really support me is invaluable. These friendships remain even while we are on the road, but trying…

#throwbackthursday to last weekend when we raced @igniteswimrun Rhode Island. #blockisland was the backdrop to this incredible race that provided a mix of roads and trails, big waves and even bigger vistas! Thank you to @eyes.up.photography for the absolutely amazing pictures and video you got of us and all the other competitors. We are looking forward to IGNITE #swimrun Virginia on October 20. If you haven’t tried SwimRun you should because #thebestthingsinlifeareshared !! . . . #igniteswimrun #swimrunners #racingwithmybestfriend #rhodeisland #openoceanswim #igniteambassadors #superfeet #swimrunwithsf #adventurewithsf #loveourlivestogether #endurancecouple #welovetorace #blockislandbluffs
It’s #medalmonday and we earned some bling over the weekend. We can’t say enough about @igniteswimrun Rhode Island. We love this company-the people, the races, the venues, the support, the attention to detail. This race had everything- big views, ocean swimming, trails, road and beach. It was challenging and fun and pushed me outside my comfort zone. Despite getting lost, which by the way was our fault as no one else got lost, we snagged the top spot in the mixed division for the long course. How you ask? We were the only team in the mixed division 🤣🤣🤣. I love this sport called #swimrun and if you haven’t tried it yet you should. What other sport let’s you race, as a team, side by side with your #bestfriend . This was our 3rd #swimrunrace and we still have a lot to learn. We have 2 more on the schedule for 2018, #igniteswimrun #nationalswimrunchampionship in Richmond, VA and #swimrunnc at #hangingrockstatepark . But before that it’s a 6 hour race in 2 weeks!! . . . #swimrunners #swimrunracing #igniteyourinnerathlete #thebestthingsinlifeareshared #endurancecouple #teambeautyandthebeast #blockisland #rhodeisland #atlanticoceanswimming #superfeet #swimrunwithsf #adventurewithsf #orangemud #showusyourskin #orangemudambassador #hylandspowered #go2socks #livinglifetothefullest
What an amazing weekend on #blockisland #rhodeisland for #igniteswimrun Rhode Island, 4.6 miles of swimming (8 legs) and 13.9 miles of running (9 legs). Not all of the swims happened due to the surf 🌊 but that’s ok by us. Still plenty of swimming in the #greatsaltpond and #atlanticocean . We got a little lost on the last run, giving us just a few extra miles💪🏃‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️. More pictures and details about the race to come! Thanks to our supporters @igniteswimrun @superfeet @hylandspowered @orangemud @xoskinusa @go2socks . . . #igniteswimrunrhodeisland #blockislandrhodeisland #swimrun #igniteyourinnerathlete #igniteambassadors #superfeet #swimrunwithsf #adventurewithsf #orangemud #orangemudambassador #hylandspowered #showusyourskin #go2socks #racingwithyourbestfriend #loveourlivestogether
Great post-marathon/pre-SwimRun hike in #manchestervermont . Excited to explore more of the #greenmountains of #vermont after #igniteswimrun Rhode Island this weekend. Who else is racing this weekend and where? Whatever the weekend may bring- #makeitcount . . . #igniteyourinnerathlete #igniterhodeisland #racingwithmybestfriend #superfeet #adventurewithsf #orangemud #orangemudambassador #thedirtunit #go2socks #xoskin #showusyourskin #hylandspowered #lyebrookfalls #hikinginvermont #endurancecouple #ontothenextadventure #gwp #dogswhohike #traildoglife
It’s #medalmonday-the #eriemarathon did not go as we had hoped but we can take what we have learned from this experience and apply it to the future. And we still ran a marathon!! . . . #marathongoals #notgoingtoboston #sometimesyouwinandsometimesyoulearn #endurancecouple #superfeet #adventurewithsf #igniteswimrun #igniteyourinnerathlete #orangemud #orangemudambassador #thedirtunit #go2socks #showusyourskin #hylandspowered
Thank you to everyone for all the cheers and support today. It didn’t go exactly as planned. I am disappointed that I won’t be making a third trip to Boston in April but I have so many other things to be thankful for. The fact that I got to run the Boston Marathon, not once but twice, makes me so proud. You see, I used to be a very unhealthy, couch potato that could never even fathom running a marathon let alone The Boston Marathon!! So I will call today a win in my book because I get to do something I love, challenge myself, set goals and share it with the people that I love. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t shed a few tears today. “Like the marathon, life can sometimes be difficult, challenging and present obstacles, however if you believe in your dreams and never give up, things will turn out for the best”-Meb Keflezighi . . #biggoalsbigdreams #nevergiveup💪 #proudofmyachievements #superfeet #adventurewithsf #orangemud #dirtunit #hylandspowered #go2socks #igniteswimrun #igniteyourinnerathlete #everythingisbetterwithyourbestfriend #ontothenextrace #eriemarathon #thereisalwaysanotherrace
