This popped up on my memories- training in Oct 2017 at Mt Scott in Oklahoma ⛰️💥👟!

The Tunnel Hill 100 was my first completed 100 miler. Boy did we make it count 🦸‍♀️🔝- winning outright and taking over an hour off the previous World Record to run 12:42:40 🙌🔥!

The more we talk about Autism, ADHD, and neurodivergence, the more the world accepts us to be our authentic selves 🌈🦄✨✨!

I love my brain exactly the way it is 😄✌️.

I tested Drony’s speed 🚁💥👟- she kept up pretty well hahaa! Good job Drony 🙌!

Our US 24Hr Team is 🔥🔥🔥! Thank you for the support once again @usatf and supporting my disability needs this time 💕🙏🇺🇸.

Throwback to 2018 Desert Solstice- my first 24Hr World Record (262.19 km/162.9 mi 🚀)!

I hit the wall at 2am but was revived by @tacobell.bsky.social 🌮+🍺. They sent me gifts afterwards.

Also had 44 gels & no gut issues 🙌.

At the 2019 IAU 24Hr World Championship in Albi, France, I improved my World Record by ~8km (270+ km), while battling 18 hrs of diarrhea and puking 💩🤮. It got so bad the officials forced me to step off to take a shower 🚿!

I was a shy girl & struggled to talk. Then Mom put me in dance 🩰, piano/choir 🎶, and sports 🏀. I came out of my turtle shell— expressing my joy on stage, the court, and the fields 👧🏻✨. Music and dancing make me come alive 💃🫶!

🏃‍♀️From 400m to 6 Days Personal Bests 🏃‍♀️

I’ve raced everything from 400 meters on the track to 6 Days on the road so far— and crossed over to Ultra-Trail races up to 100 miles 🏞️. Here are my Strava-verified lifetime personal bests!

12 weeks to go to the IAU 24Hr World Championship 🙌🎉! Who’s planning to be there?!

Have a lot of work ahead (stacking bricks 👷‍♀️🧱🏠), but I looveee the process of shaping my body and mind 🦸‍♀️!

I found my @guinnessworldrecords.com certificate for the “Fastest marathon dressed as a super(s)hero” 🦸‍♀️🕷️- 2:48+!

While I’m proud of the personal achievement, I’m even more grateful for the memories & joy it brought to others. It reminded me of our impact to inspire & uplift the world 💫🌎.

I withdrew from the Vermont 100 to prioritize my health 💚. I’ve experienced Autistic burnout- focusing on rest & recovery right now.

I’m grateful to RD Amy Rusiecki for her kindness, support, & creating an inclusive race & community🙏. Wishing everyone an awesome weekend 🙌🎉💯!

Throwback to my first U.S. Team in 2011 🇺🇸—the start of my Clean Sport journey ⚖️.

I recently found my stack of anti-doping declaration forms going back to the 2011 Pan Am Games marathon.

Did a post about why I care about sports integrity/ #CleanSport:

2022 Western States 100 — a gritty 8th place 🤠🙌🏁!

People have been asking if I’ll return to Western States. I’m grateful for my two finishes here 🙏. However I still feel like there’s more in the tank & have to keep trying 🤠🔝.

A throwback to hitting 200mi en route to my 48Hr WR in 2023 (33:35:31 🇦🇺)! Night 2 is like carrying a bear 🐻😅

I believe sub-30hr for 200mi is possible—by me or someone else. Would take 24Hr WR pace and holding on. I love unicorn goals🦄. Planting the seed now 🌱!

I had a wonderful experience being part of and listening at the Vermont 100 Adaptive Athlete Panel led by RD Amy Rusiecki & Vermont Adaptive 🙌. I learned a lot and feel more understanding about their lived experiences 💕.

When I go for a World Record/Best, I don’t aim for the current record- I aim for what’s calculated as statistically possible, which I estimate as 627 miles. This is a very conservative estimate- I still think surpassing the men’s WB is possible minimizing stop time.

Been geeking out on the 6 Day race data 🤓👟!

Up to 200K steps/day

111 hrs moving time/33hrs stop time

560+ mi = 11:53/mi moving pace

Slept ~1.5 hrs/day 😵‍💫

If I cut stop time in ½ = +66 mi → 627 mi 🤔. This is 3.6% off the men’s WR (645 mi).

How much can you suffer?

**New Podcast is out with Dirt Church Radio 🎤**

Thank you so much to Ali, Andrew, and Matt inviting me on again for a great chat 💕🙏! It starts after 20+ min..

Bless Nina Kuscsik and the huge impact she had on women’s running 💖🦸🏻‍♀️. I wrote a tribute to her & about being one of the “six who sat” at the start of the 1972 @nycmarathon . I was honored to serve alongside her a few yrs on the @usatf WLDR Committee.

Appreciated this twitter post by @nononsensend.bsky.social , esp since I’m 43 🎯💯.

Feeling pumped up about summer training and racing 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️. Who else is too 🙌🔝?!

I shared one of my favorite quotes by legendary marathoner, Juma Ikangaa, who lived and trained in Alamosa, CO where we used to live. He’s always been an inspiration to put in the work 🌟🧱🏠.

They announced the US Team selections for the IAU 24Hr World Championship in October in Albi, France once again 🙌🎉🇺🇸! We have another “Dream Team” of strong athletes 💪.

I’m looking forward to the buildup and see if I can reach my goal of 280km 🦸‍♀️🚀🌖!

I’ve been through 14 record ratifications and 18 drug tests—including 3 tests + 4 blood draws for my 6-Day World Best 🏃‍♀️💪. We know the rules well and check with the governing bodies in advance.

I’m deeply grateful to all the Officials & heroes who help make my World Records/Bests possible 🙏⏱️⚖️.

I’ve been through 14 record ratification processes & taken 18 drug tests—3 of them (plus 4 blood draws!) for my 6-Day World Best alone.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 🧠🌈.

A year ago around this time is when I went through the professional diagnosis and found out I’m Autistic/ADHD. It’s the second most significant thing to happen in my life, behind meeting my husband 💖! I shared a message ⬇️.

Lift heavy things, eat tacos 😄💪🌮!

I decided not to go to Japan for the 6-day race—it’s a massive trip/endeavor! I’m enjoying being at home 🏠🌵⛰️, lifting🏋️‍♀️, rebuilding my volume 🧱, and doing the basics.

I’ve pivoted to another race in June & the Vermont 100 in July 🙌🎉!

I did two recent podcasts, including with @RunUltra_UK and Rest Day Reflections 🎤. We deep dived on a lot of topics from my life and career. Hope you enjoy! Let me know of other podcasts you’d like me to be on!

I loved the Ice Age 50 miler- I wish I’d done it sooner!

After focusing on longer Road/Track Ultras, this was a great re-intro to the intensity & challenges of Ultra-Trail & 50 mi-100km. The pickle juice at mile 40 felt like it recharged my brain like a battery 🥒🔋💃.

I haven’t done it yet! I also want to do the Mountain to Fountain 15km!

Cool, thanks for sharing Chris 🙌⛰️! Love hearing what others think about!
