Currently serving in a leadership role at and just head over heels obsessed with what we are creating over there.

Also seven years in with my fam and it just keeps getting better and better.

Moab Run the Rocks Stage 2 - Gemini Bridges. AKA my love affair with the La Sal mountains.

17.76 miles, 1,800 feet of gain and my fastest trail race pace yet at 12:47. Trail running has come with a huge learning curve for this 20 year road runner but I am gaining so much confidence and running a lot more out there. This course was so runnable and scenic and this stage made me want to do this race over and over again.

Moab is so stunning and the community is unmatched. 🤩

Immediately put Moab, Utah on your travel bucket list. 🌎

What an absolute dream this trip was. Moab is magical and I know it’s somewhere that I’ll return to over and over again. Majestic, otherworldly, stunning…a place where you feel fully alive. ❤️

I called home for my four nights in Moab and it was the perfect home base. Right on Main Street, minutes from downtown and convenient to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, mountain biking trails, hiking, outdoor outfitters, the Colorado River and more. Bonus: the southwestern aesthetic was such a cozy vibe and the hotel has a heated saltwater pool, barrel sauna, hot tub, fire pits, record players in every room and a restaurant/bar on site.

Here are a few highlights of what I did when I wasn’t out on the trails running 43 miles in three days. 🙃

- wandering around downtown Moab
- eating!!!! Absolutely adored
- taking in the views at Canyonlands National Park
- driving along scenic Highway 128 which follows the Colorado River
- sunset at Dead Horse Point State Park
- relaxing by the pool at
- sunrise at Arches National Park
- Delicate Arch hike

We will all sleep well tonight. Love this city and love being this boy’s mom.

Come with me to run stage one of Moab Rub the Rocks. Was basically in awe of my surroundings the whole time and so happy to be back with the crew.

Moab Run the Rocks Stage 3 ✅ Bar M Trails

DID THE THING. Day three was by far the hardest from a technical standpoint. Started with a few miles running super rocky single track with tight spacing where I felt (positive) accountability to keep the pace.

We also had a few winding miles on rock that felt like we were running on the moon.

Spirits were high all day and crossing the finish line was so, so sweet.

There’s no race like a race. 🤍

Backtracking to our ski weekend at Winterplace Ski Resort! Here's a full recap of two days of warm, spring condition skiing before the season closed out. We had an absolute blast!!!

A full recap of our weekend at Winterplace Ski Resort.

Moab Run the Rocks Stage 2 ✅ Gemini Bridges

This day was a big win for me all around.

1. I dropped from the Full Pint distance of 25.9 miles down to the Half Pint distance of 17.6. I didn’t do any formal training for this race. I knew I could finish the full pint but it probably wasn’t going to be the most enjoyable experience and would be hard on my body. It was mentally tough for me to drop down but I know it was the right call.

2. I ran my strongest and fastest trail race ever during stage 2 and ended with a 12:47 overall pace and 2:41 minutes of running and 54 minutes of walking. My loose goal for Moab was to do at least equal splits of running and hiking each day and I crushed this!

3. Trail legs showed up! It is wild to me how strong I feel on later stages of multi-day training efforts/races.

4. This scenery and course was my favorite of all three days.

5. Donuts, squeezy legs and frenchies at the finish!

Moab Run the Rocks stage 1 - DONE! ✅ Navajo Rocks from Lone Mesa Group Camping.

Every single thing about this morning was perfect. The insanely gorgeous scenery, the supportive and friendly community, the feeling of being back out on the trails. 🙏

Looking forward to two more days of adventure and fun in Moab. I had so much anxiety about pulling this race and trip off…but sometimes you just have to go for it. The moment I arrived at the start this morning and felt the TRR energy, I knew I was exactly where I needed to be. 🤍
