Most people think running is just about exercise, a way to burn calories or log miles (or even a form of punishment!), but if you are a runner, you KNOW it is about SO much more than that. It’s about sanity, self-care, and showing up for yourself. It’s where we solve life’s problems one mile at a time. So today, we’re talking about ALL the ways running is SO much more than just a workout.

Last weekend, I ran the GOVX San Diego 1/2 Marathon with friends, so today, I'm doing a little race recap and sharing some tips for destination races, meaning you have to fly or drive lots of hours to get to your race.

This race was about SO much more than another medal to hang on my wall.

It was about no regrets in 2025.

It was about flying ALL by myself for the 1st time at the age of 45! (I’ve flown A LOT, but never alone!)

It was about my 1st out of state 1/2 marathon in San Diego, a great training race for my full marathon (Grandma’s Marathon) in Minnesota later this spring.

It was about a fun “meet up” race with running friends I met on Instagram a few years ago, who have become “real life” friends as we’ve now hung out in person 3 times in the last couple of years.

And it was about dreaming big, choosing to keep growing, and making time to fill my own cup with the things that bring me JOY!

Thank you SO much for listening!

Do you love running and sometimes wonder if your kids will love it too? Do you dream of running and working out with your teenagers someday? Then this episode is for you.

Running with your kids definitely brings a lot of feelings of pride and joy, but I suppose can also bring some challenges as well, especially if you are someone who is used to running solo and still has some serious running goals, so today, we’ll talking about both.

When I returned to running in my early 30’s and started training for ½ marathons and marathons, I made a lot of mistakes as a runner. I’m actually pretty surprised that I have been able to continue running so consistently for 12 years when I think about all the things I did wrong. So, in today’s episode, I’m sharing my top 5 mistakes I used to make as a runner in my 30’s that I no longer do in my 40’s.
