Shaking Hands Into The Void

Over the past week I’ve considered starting a blog to be the best idea I’ve ever had…followed by immediate crippling dread of what it means in 2026. Can I really create a blog with the truest intention of sharing everything I’ve learned throughout my last marathon block, off-season, and kicking off Berlin training, while balancing a full time career and two small children? Can this space be what I want it to be…somewhere where someone can go to find real, non-AI generated slop of endless posts where we’re told what to eat, how to sleep, and the path to a achieving a sub-3 hour marathon? To be honest, I’m not sure. But I want to give it go.

I absolutely want to share what my life looks like- as in, what a 33 year old mom has to schedule around to fit in training, what healthy meals look like in my modest Whole Foods budget (with nutrients that runners need, whilst laughing off the 37 unnecessary niche ingredients that I have to google to even know what they are), I want to share my struggles with sleep, and what almost broke me during the Chicago Marathon.

So, no, I’m not an influencer but I’m real. And I show up everyday for myself and my goals because…we’re going to all die relatively soon. So let’s do some cool shit along the way?

With that, consider this our virtual handshake and the start to something cool.
