Preflight ✈️ run before flying to San Diego tomorrow for my first marathon this Sunday! After a super demanding week I’m feeling a bit worked over, so I hope two days of chilling and seeing my sis in SD will provide some needed restoration.

It’s been a truly inspiring training cycle with milestones I never expected to hit in my life, let alone post-colectomy. This was my first 100 mile month plus 34 miles on the trails.

I had more than one Dune sequel this weekend. This one was running 15 miles (my longest ever!) on the path where my transformation via cycling began almost exactly 8 years ago.

I had a flashback moment to almost exactly 8 years ago on my 50-mile ride at Sea Otter while out on our training run with the Fleet Feet group on Saturday. The route was 16-18 miles, and despite mentoring a pace group, I've never run more than thirteen-and-a-half. I had been nervous the day befor...

I had the most middle-aged accident carrying it a bag of broken Chemex glass- caught my ecotrek trail pants and ripped a hole requiring 3-layers of stitches. Marathon training is on a temporary hold #AutoimmuneAthlete #CrohnsLife #Ibd #crohns

The end of 2022 was full of uncertainty (and some post-surgery complications) but I believed that a healthier future was ahead, so I went about forging that vision for 2023. As I stood on the top of the hill we’ve dubbed “Big G” and thought of all of the progress made this year, I was overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone that made it easier to believe and do the work.

I’m looking at 2024 and thinking about how to share more of this with the world.
