Don’t let your present performances define your future success. Dream big & keep putting in the work and big things will happen! 💫 • I tried the Instastory question thing yesterday and I shared the above words in response to someone asking me if I ran in high school. Yep, I did - and I wasn’t a rockstar. My personal bests were 5:19 in the mile at 11:27 in the 2 mile - ok times, but nothing to write home about. I never went to the state meet in track, and my best finish in 5k XC was 19:08, good for 35th place at the California State Meet in 2003. No state titles or fancy medals for me - nor any letters of intent or scholarship dollars when I first decided to run in college at UC Davis. I was a late bloomer, you might say... but I stayed in the sport, kept putting in the miles and doing the work. And it paid off! While I didn’t win any conference titles or set any school records, I was on an upward trajectory 📈 And for the past 8 years as a post-collegiate/pro runner, I’ve been lucky to be able to keep that trend going! ↗️ • I’ve found that in running, there will be big breakthroughs followed by minor setbacks, great performances followed by ones that leave something to be desired... the ups & downs are inevitable. Good miles and bad miles. It’s not a straight line to success. But if you stay with it, stick it out, and keep that line trending up 📈, it’ll be more than worth it! • I’d love to hear about your running progression - where you started, where you’re at now, and what big things are ahead for you? 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ . . . . #runningjoyfully #runjoyfully #womensrunning #instarunning #womensrunningcommunity #runningdownadream

T E A M 💚 • Almost 4 years ago, I started coaching runners and helping others find the joy of running through Training Joyfully. What started as a small group of athletes in Rhode Island and Ohio has turned into a big crew of strong, speedy athletes all across the US! I work with athletes one-on-one, designing training programs individually tailored to YOU - your goals, your needs, and to fit your lifestyle and schedule. • As a coach, I’ve had the pleasure of celebrating athletes’ amazing performances - like @bsnelson0411’s 14th place at the @bostonmarathon, @bdeckruns’s breakout year, @hannah_zio’s BQ in her first 26.2, and SO many more. I’ve also made deep, lasting relationships with my athletes and am proud to call them friends. We have so much fun together that it felt right to launch Training Joyfully Track Club (TJTC) in Providence this year, so the local runners I coach (& others!) can share some joyful runs together. I’m excited for our upcoming TJTC group runs and pub runs this summer! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🍻 And we have a BIG group of Training Joyfully athletes from all over the US racing @runsra_cim CIM in December - I truly cannot wait for that race! 😃 • Now that I’ve finished up my masters degree in Public Health, I have the ability to take on new athletes and let Training Joyfully grow a bit! If you’re aiming for a BQ, looking to run your first marathon, gearing up for a 5k or 10k personal best, or want to get started running, I’d love to work with you! My training philosophy is that running is an OPPORTUNITY, not an obligation, and I aim to make my run programs challenging yet fun - I’ll push you, but we’ll make sure you’re running joyfully out there, crossing the finish line with a smile 😊 • Feel free to send me a DM or see the link ⬆️ if you’re interested in personal coaching! 🙌 . . . #trainingjoyfully #runningjoyfully #runjoyfully #TJTC #instarunners #womensrunning #womensrunningcommunity #bostonqualifier #marathontraining #marathoncoach #runcoach #runcoaching

2 years ago today, under a blazing sun and before a big crowd at historic Hayward Field, I ran the Olympic Trials 10k — the realization of a long-held dream. Many, many miles run to earn a spot on the starting line that day - and I’m busy laying the foundation now to get back there (& be better!) in 2020. Grateful for the support of so many who helped me get there and who helped me celebrate my 11th place finish. 🎉 • A lot has changed since 2016. The past 2 years have brought new PRs at 10k and 26.2, a grad degree, the growth of my coaching business, lots of fun travel, and 4 happy years of marriage. But it also brought the loss of dear friends and family (#fuckcancer). Reflecting today on how quickly life can change, and remembering to run with gratitude and appreciate special days like 7/2/16. 💛 . . . #throwback #olympictrials

Throwback to the last time I raced @usatf Outdoor Nationals in Des Moines, in 2013 - spoiler alert, it wasn’t pretty! 🙈😬 After a LONG busy spring finishing up grad school, I decided to forgo racing the 10k at USA’s this year. I’ve got some fun fast summer races that I’m targeting, as well as a fall marathon - so I’m focused on those goals right now. Sending all the fast vibes to my running bestie @katrina_spratford 😘, as well as to @em_sisson_ and @mollyhuddle! #RIstrong Good luck everyone! . . . 📸: @urimiscott #usatf #usaoutdoors #usatfoutdoors #trackandfield #desmoines #throwback
