Last weekend, I ran the GOVX San Diego 1/2 Marathon with friends, so today, I'm doing a little race recap and sharing some tips for destination races, meaning you have to fly or drive lots of hours to get to your race.

This race was about SO much more than another medal to hang on my wall.

It was about no regrets in 2025.

It was about flying ALL by myself for the 1st time at the age of 45! (I’ve flown A LOT, but never alone!)

It was about my 1st out of state 1/2 marathon in San Diego, a great training race for my full marathon (Grandma’s Marathon) in Minnesota later this spring.

It was about a fun “meet up” race with running friends I met on Instagram a few years ago, who have become “real life” friends as we’ve now hung out in person 3 times in the last couple of years.

And it was about dreaming big, choosing to keep growing, and making time to fill my own cup with the things that bring me JOY!

Thank you SO much for listening!

Do you love running and sometimes wonder if your kids will love it too? Do you dream of running and working out with your teenagers someday? Then this episode is for you.

Running with your kids definitely brings a lot of feelings of pride and joy, but I suppose can also bring some challenges as well, especially if you are someone who is used to running solo and still has some serious running goals, so today, we’ll talking about both.

When I returned to running in my early 30’s and started training for ½ marathons and marathons, I made a lot of mistakes as a runner. I’m actually pretty surprised that I have been able to continue running so consistently for 12 years when I think about all the things I did wrong. So, in today’s episode, I’m sharing my top 5 mistakes I used to make as a runner in my 30’s that I no longer do in my 40’s.

Whether you’re new to running and excited about your new hobby and want to make sure you’re taking all the right steps to become a lifelong runner, or if you’re like me and have been running for years and you’ve struggled with injuries, burnout, or feeling stuck in your running journey, this episode is for you!

Ever wonder how busy runners stay so consistent? In today’s episode I’ll be sharing my Sunday Reset Routine as an over 40 mother runner- how I plan my runs, workouts, fueling, and balance work and mom life so I can crush my week ahead.

And if you enjoy this episode today, please take minute to leave a review, follow the show, and share this episode in your stories to help it reach more middle season moms and women like you who might enjoy listening each week.

Today I wanted to explore the topic - Are we, as a society, getting healthier or not? When you look at ALL the advancements when it comes to medicine, technology, and information at our finger tips, do you think we’ve made progress when it comes to health and wellness in our society, or are we falling behind?

And as someone who has worked in healthcare for 23 years, what I have observed is that we don’t seem to be getting any healthier as a country. Yes, people seem to be living longer, but I wouldn’t say their quality of life in their later years is significantly better. And as someone who values health and fitness and spends a lot of time in this space myself, it seems like the healthiest people are getting healthier or at least showing more interest and investing in more things to help them age in a healthier way, while the majority of people in our country are not doing the basic things when it comes to their health.

I don't know about you, but life has felt crazy busy this last month, so if you too are in a season of MORE, this episode is for you!

This is your reminder that it’s okay to do less of the extra stuff when you are dealing with more. It’s okay to be graceful with yourself, let some things go for a while, and choose to prioritize what’s actually important.

This last week, I was thinking of what’s most important for me to hold onto when I am going through busy seasons, and 5 main pillars came to mind. No matter how busy things are, these are the 5 things that keep me feeling grounded, help me to feel like myself, protect my peace, and bring me joy. And I hope you will also take some time after listening to this episode to make a list of YOUR 5 pillars that will help you not just survive a busy season, but continue to thrive.
