Skunk cabbage classic is the first big race in Ithaca of the spring therefor every loves to participate. It was recommended by my physical therapist that I sit this one out; I feel I must obey despite my desire to run.

Growing up my family always had a cabin along the Allegheny River, during a young age we were busy with sports and life didn’t really visit much but since moving to New York as an ‘adult’ I have re-found the glory of easy living at camp. This weekend I shared that with Kristy. 

Since my running love affair started I have gotten every one of my immediate family members to run with me. Just trying to share the love...

My journey from non-runner to who I am today, someone who believes she can run 50 miles! Enjoy! Get outside and run even if you think you can never run a 5k, that is where I started just 3 years ago!

Another great weekend spent in Western PA, because we all know it is "Pee-Ayy" not Pennsylvania! 

It is easy to love your dog beyond words but here is how Pepper has made me a petter person. The top 5 life lessons I have learned from my dog.

Kristy and I hike Mount Marcy. We thought it would be fun to do 2 different blog posts from each of our different perspective. Hope you enjoy! See you on the trail, I have 45 more peaks in the ADK!

Virgil Crest Ultras 5 woman 100-mile relay team. Leaving your comfort zone, trying new things, learning to trust your intuition, to come out on the other side happy and invigorated!

Hiking the Allegheny National Forrest, canoeing the Allegheny River, wine drinking, and quality family time spent at the cabin. My version of glamping!
