I can’t believe it’s been a year last month since I started this blog! Looking back, I have shared so much with you and once again, I’m sorry I haven’t been around so much recently. As I sat back and reflected on the writings of my blog, I couldn’t help but go back to the beginning. You know, when crazy started…this crazy thing in my life called running. How does it happen? How did I start running and end up running ultramarathons? Well, I went back in time to see how crazy began.
My first “race,” which I didn’t sign up for, nor did I run the whole thing. But this is where I caught the bug.
My first 10K.
My first Half Marathon
My first and only mud run.
Did someone say ultra marathon? Yes…I thought about it 8 months after I started taking running seriously.
My first marathon!
My first 5K! That’s right, it’s AFTER my first marathon 🙂
My second marathon!
My third marathon!
Falling in love with trail running.
My first ultramarathon!
My fourth marathon!
My first 50-miler!
And today…I’m sent my application for my second 50-miler!
What I loved about taking a trip down memory lane is remembering when I first met and formed bonds with my sole sisters and that I first took a peek at ultramarathons very early on (I didn’t remember doing this). While it seems like forever ago, it really hasn’t been that long. I loved how quickly this crazy thing called running evolved.
So What? I run. 
haha I love the evolution!!
Thanks! ❤
What a fun way to look back at all you’ve accomplished! Congrats and I can’t wait to see what’s ahead!
Thanks so much Cecilia! Who knows what’s next. I have no control over what my brain does sometimes.
Happy Blogiversary, my Dear Friend! I hold you partially responsible for why I continue to run and almost entirely responsible for releasing that silly blog. ❤ Keep being amazing, Girlfriend!
LOL! Well, I’m so happy to be a part of that! So glad to have reconnected. Much love!
This was such a fun post to read! I love how you pieced it together from FB posts. 🙂 You’re an inspiration! Also, I need some sole sisters, clearly!
This was such a fun post! I love how you pieced together your evolution via FB updates! You are an inspiration. 🙂 Also, this made me realize I need some of my own sole sisters!
Thank you So much Carly! Yes! Sole sisters are the best!

Great post. What a fantastic journey you’ve started. Running is so much more than the run. It is the oldest social collaboration we have. Run free, run easy!
