The past several weeks have been difficult for both David and me. At the end of May, a few days before the DK200, David’s father passed away. This was not completely unexpected but it was not any less painful. David and I had made…

Black Canyon 100KFebruary 16th, 2019
#saguaronationalpark is a beautiful #nationalpark outside of #tucsonarizona . We decided last year to buy a national park pass for our travels and we are happy that we did, even though many of them don’t allow dogs on the trails. Saguaro NP is no different, but they do allow dogs on the dirt/gravel roads and picnic areas and that was all we needed. We have loved our time in Arizona, it is time to move on but we will be back!! #r2r2r #javalinajundred .

It’s #medalmonday !!#blackcanyon100k was an incredible day. Everything came together for me on race day, I finished feeling strong with a #westernstates100 lottery spot (not sure I will put my name in but it’s cool that I can). I certainly could not have done this by myself.
Thanks to those companies that support my endeavors-@superfeet for my run comfort insoles @orangemud for my awesome pack and buff @xoskinusa for the best socks on the planet (I wore the same socks the entire race with absolutely no foot issues) and compression shorts that stay put @hylandspowered for the #hylandslegcramps , all the recovery products and just being awesome @tonik_apparel for a super comfortable top with no chafing @go2socks for assisting in my recovery and @igniteswimrun for believing in me.
But the biggest thank you goes to all my friends and family for the support and encouragement you have given me during this journey.
My parents who are by far my biggest fans and my 2 best friends-David and @taybucklew. They were there for me all day long (and it was long) crewing and pacing and making sure I had enough calories, hydration, and anything else I could possibly want.
A million thank you’s is not enough.
My #ultrarunning journey has just begun and I am excited to see where it leads. “Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come. Remember everything you have faced, all the battles you have won, and all the fears you have overcome.”

It’s race day!! I can’t believe how far I have come- 17 years ago I could not run more then 15 seconds on a treadmill and today I am at the starting line of my first 100k!! No matter what happens today I am proud of my accomplishments.
So, go out and make today count!!

Happy 11th Birthday to Miss Mira!! I rescued her 9 years ago but she rescued me years later. She makes me laugh, smile and run fast and she loves David as much as I do!! I wish we had forever but I will take every second of everyday we have together. .

3 sleeps until the #blackcanyon100k !! #racetaper doesn’t have to be boring!! It is good to be smart about it but find something fun that is different from your training, something you don’t get to do as often as you like and go do it.
In addition to doing something fun it’s nice to wear something fun too!! Yes, I actually wear colors other than black and grey!! 🤣🤣
Finally got to wear my super colorful #tonikapparel top. It is comfortable and cute and it’s not just for cycling!! .

Do something epic with the one you love! Or even just a friend. There aren’t many races out there where you get to race side by side and work together as a team. @igniteswimrun has five different races to choose from and Amy and I hope to see you at one of them.
