I’m in no way a run coach, a professional runner or someone who has been running for most of their life.

I’m just someone who actually enjoyed marathon training and want to share what worked for me 🫶

The “if you do it, I’ll do it” is the elite running friend 🫶

I didn’t have becoming a lab rat on my 2026 bingo card 🐁💀

But what I learned about my body & running over at the by doing the VO2 max test, resting metabolic rate and the DEXA scan will definitely change how I train moving forward!

Stay tuned for the results 😉

If you’ve been interested in any of the scans, make sure you mention my name and they’ll give you 10% off!

Pinch me, I must be dreaming??!

Almost 3 years ago I bought my first pieces from when I started adding movement back into my daily life & now I’m on their website as a brand ambassador.

It’s such a surreal full circle moment because this never started as a goal! was simply a loyal customer who loved sharing the things I actually wore on runs, to the gym, and in everyday life and now it turned into this!

Still feels a little wild seeing my name there when this all started with me adding shorts to my cart at midnight like everyone else 😂

If you want to try and fall in love like I did, comment GLOWMODE and I’ll send you links to some of my favorite pieces that I wear all the time!

I’ve been going to for almost 2 years now and it completely changed the way I approach running, recovery, and injury prevention.

If you’ve been dealing with nagging pain, recurring issues, tightness, etc., they currently have a $97 Return to Performance Starter Package with a full evaluation, recovery plan, Normatecs session, tee, and priority scheduling.

Because apparently “I’ll just run through it” isn’t a good thing!

Our children pay attention to us.

He’s seeing me taking care of myself, challenging myself, love myself.

A few weeks ago my son asked to join run club at school because he wanted “to run a marathon like mama” & this morning we did the local kids dash at the Mother’s Day 5k. This is a reminder that how we show up for ourselves sets the example for our kiddos.
