Saturday, April 18th, 2009 I set on an adventure also know as 50 miles:)
Here is the PERSONAL account of my day & race feelings-enjoy!
My day began with waking up at 2am (after going to bed at 10:30pm). I was feeling very energized (well, who am I kidding, I am the energiser bunny, lol) ready to [...]

As I get ready for the my 50 miler in the morning, just wanted to let YOU know what I do to prep for a race:)
First, I make sure I hydrate very well a few days leading up to race day. This means no caffeine and LOTS of water. I drink Smart Water. It has [...]

I have many people ask me why I run, from 5k’s to 26.2(marathon) to 50k (32miles) to a 50miler and my answer is this:
“I run 50miles to inspire someone to run or walk 1mile”.
So, even though you may not be able to run the ultras I am doing, I KNOW you can get outside and [...]

I get a lot of questions on how I do what I do on a daily basis….”how do I get everything done?” “how do you find time to do it all?” “what is the secret?” I don’t claim to know it all on this topic, but I do practice a few things in my life [...]

In life we have many finish lines…..some easier then others! As I was racing to the finish line in my marathon last week, all I saw in front of me was the words: “FINISH LINE”, I heard the crowd on either side of the boardwalk, but I did not see them.
This week I was reflecting [...]

I have received some questions on my salt intake & why I ended up in the medical tent after wards. I took salt every early in the race at mile 2, then every 4 miles after that. It was to prevent leg cramps & it worked like magic. However, salt dehydrates you & I [...]

My story begins on Saturday, March 21 at 6am. I had to finish packing, get a few projects done, stop in at a client, then leave at 1pm. I was on the road with a bag of Kettle Popcorn, a 50 ounce bottle of water, BlueTooth & of course TwitterBerry:) I called a number of [...]
