The first time I trained for this marathon, I was freshly postpartum — exhausted, overwhelmed, and learning how to find myself again. Running taught me that I could be a Mom and still chase big goals. I could be tired and still show up. I could struggle and keep moving forward… and I did just that when I crossed that finish line in 2025.
I’m running the 2026 St. Joseph, MO marathon again, but I’m a different woman:
Growth bound, Stronger, Trained, and Confident!
This marathon will mark Day 1,000 of my running streak in the Measly Mile Mafia — 1,000 days/miles of showing up through the good, the hard, the messy, and everything in between.
The first time, I ran to prove I could do something hard. This time, I’m running to celebrate how far I’ve come.
Same marathon. Different woman. New RESULTS!
Come celebrate with me on September 26th!
