3K Short Course I watched all morning as my friends and teammates ran in the earlier heats for the short course. What made me most nervous was seeing strong teammates struggle at the Battlefrog rig as well as the impending rain in the forecast. Sizing up the obstacles, I thought I'd be able to handle [...]
I think I missed my calling in the world of criminal justice. I don't even remember where my interest in true crime began, but my iPhone is now full of episodes of various true crime podcasts and I find myself forever talking to co-workers and friends about the latest episodes they need to hear.

Another year, another Tough Mudder… or two. June 18, my team and I got up bright and early to hit the Mount Snow course while it was still clean. It was beautiful and sunny and not 50 degrees for once, we were wearing our matching team gear feeling pretty legit, and after we got the [...]
I thought I was nuts doing 12 races last year, and yet, I find myself registered for 20 so far in 2016 and I couldn’t be more excited! The thing about OCR is that it doesn’t get dull, at least not yet. The training is varied, interesting, often fun, and the sport is always changing, [...]

I recently discovered Gardein Beefless Ground. Low calorie, low fat, high protein makes it the perfect meat substitute. I’ve … Read More
As I sit here typing on a Wednesday night, sore and just plain tired from finally getting back to the gym after 3 weekends straight of big races, I can’t help but feel a bit sad that my very last race of 2015 is coming up October 17. It has been an epic year full [...]
Racing season is in full force now that it's June. I took on my 4th Tough Mudder this weekend at Mount Snow with a team of badasses and we had a blast! I've spent my winter working to improve my strength and conditioning so I can be more competitive in my racing this summer, but [...]
I love tofu. It is one of my favorite items to cook with because it’s low-calorie and high in protein. My go-to flavor for tofu is soy-sauce because it’s easy, but I’ve been getting tired of it. I used the Yummly app on my iPhone to find some new easy tofu marinades this last week, … Read More
