this website is devoted to The real parts of the journey.
sharing pieces of my life, my training, my triumphs, and my defeats.
Over the past 12 years I have devoted most of my life to pursing running. Running at the highest level I can achieve. For a decade I was part of a team in Flagstaff that brought the very best out of myself. I got very close to making out US Olympic Team in the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials. Like 19 seconds close. I have met some of my best friends, my teammates for life, my agent, my mentors and my husband through running. I have won 3 National titles and I have finished dead last in the Olympic Trials. What I vowed to do different in my career as a pro athlete was find the balance in. The joy in it. The community in it. So 10 years ago I took a break in my career to start a family. We founded an adult running camp called Bruce Camp. I blogged, I shared, I launched a youtube channel, I started a women’s only retreat called Grit and Growth. I am a believer, a dreamer, a doer. I believe everyone has a chance to carve their own path for success. It can appear that people have it all figured out and that their lives are put together. So if that sparks your interest, this is the place to be.
