Summer running is just paying money to overheat publicly while developing the most confusing tan lines of your life. Send this to your sunburnt running friend.

You keep shrinking yourself in places you already earned your way into. At the start line. At work. In conversations. Meanwhile people with half the preparation walk in like they belong there.

Most runners know this feeling. You train for months, doubt yourself all week, then cross the finish line wondering why you were ever scared in the first place.

Confidence comes after action. Stop waiting to feel ready. Go after the pace that scares you a little.

Somewhere between “protect your peace” and “sign up for another race” is me.

I think a lot of us are out here trying to balance work, kids, training, hormones, recovery, friendships, sleep, hydration, protein, and remembering why we walked into the kitchen.

So if your life feels a little chaotic but you’re still showing up anyway?
That counts for something. 😂

Every person in this race corral took a completely different path to get here.

Some are running from who they used to be. Some are proving something to themselves. Some lost weight. Some lost people. Some trained for months. Some barely made it to the start line mentally.

Different lives. Different struggles.
Same nervous energy waiting for the clock to start. That’s what makes running different.

For a few hours, nobody cares what you do for work, how much money you make, or what kind of week you had. Just you and the miles you’re willing to earn.

Send this to someone you’d stand in a corral with any day.

How do you know someone is a runner? Ask them how their day is going. Their run plans will find their way into the conversation. Trust me.

Here’s how I fueled today for the BolderBoulder 10k. I knew it was going to be pretty warm, even going in one of the early waves at 7:02am. As I did not carry a water bottle today, it was essential that I nailed my electrolytes. I took 2 pink lemonade chews (elite flavor btw) and then followed that up with one pack of the Rainbow gummies. These, along with the pre workout and pop tarts I had before the race, along with some water on the course, carried me to my second best 10k time ever, in very sunny and warm conditions. It was nice to not have to overthink what my fuel was going to be today. If you haven’t tried them yet, I’m a big fan of the gummies and the pink lemonade chews, though you really can’t go wrong with any flavors! Lots more SaltStick in my future ahead of Sydney!

Some friends will tell you
“we’re almost there…”
“It’s not that far…”
“You won’t die…” 😅

And somehow… they’re always right.

Two weeks before my dad passed, I was standing at the start of the Chicago Marathon when my phone buzzed.

“Good luck in winning your marathon today!!”

There was zero chance I was winning a World Major. Not Chicago. Not any of them.

For a long time, that text haunted me.
I thought he just didn’t understand the scale.
50,000 runners. The best in the world.

But this morning on my run, it hit me.

He wasn’t measuring the field.
He was remembering the girl who won the spelling bee.
The one who came home with ribbons.
The one who stood on small local podiums like they were Olympic stages.

In his world, I was always capable of winning.

I will never win Chicago. Or any big race, even though I treat running like it’s my career.
And yes — some days that still stings.

But maybe winning was never about the podium.
Maybe it was about showing up like someone who was raised to believe she could.

So I run.
Not to win the race.
But to honor the belief.

If you’re carrying someone in your heart — run your life like they still believe in you.

Because they do.
