The first inaugural Wheat City Run is officially in the books. ❤️

This race didn’t go exactly as planned—I took a wrong turn and finished with 24 km instead of 21.1, all while battling knee issues I’ve been dealing with for the last month.

But I did it.

Looking back on this year, I’m still in awe:

🏅 6 races
🏅 3 half marathons
🏅 First half: 1:51
🏅 Clear Lake Half PR: 1:47
🏅 2 back-to-back half marathons
🏅 2 ten-mile races & PRs in both

And I did it all one year postpartum after having 4 babies in 3.5 years. 🥺

Running helped me find myself again after each postpartum season. What started as a way to process grief turned into something I never imagined.

To my husband—thank you for the early mornings, Sunday long runs, and cheering me on through every finish line. ❤️

And to my four little humans, you’ve been part of almost every mile, most of them from a wagon seat. 🥹

Race season is officially over, and I couldn’t be prouder of my first year of distance running.

Thank you, Wheat City Run, for bringing a race to our hometown. See you next year. 🏃🏼‍♀️❤️

There’s something special about running in Riding Mountain. 🏔️✨

Today’s half marathon was hands down the hardest one I’ve run so far. The hills were relentless, my knee started acting up halfway through, and there were moments where I questioned if I had anything left to give. But somehow, it also became one of my favourite races.

The views were absolutely breathtaking, and every step reminded me why I love this sport. Not because it’s easy, but because of the places it takes me, the lessons it teaches me, and the confidence it builds along the way.

And somehow, despite the hills and the knee pain, I achieved a goal I’ve been working toward all summer: a Sub-1:50 half marathon. 🏅 I crossed the finish line in 1:47 and was honoured to finish as the 2nd place female overall. To say I’m proud would be an understatement.

Swipe to the end for a throwback to my last race here. I ran the Riding Mountain 10K while 4 months postpartum and unknowingly 2 months pregnant. At the time, a half marathon felt impossible.

Fast forward to today, and I crossed the finish line of my second half marathon in the same park.

Becoming a mom didn’t mean giving up my goals—it just changed what they looked like. My strongest self wasn’t built in perfect training conditions. She was built during nap-time runs, early mornings, sleepless nights, and countless miles pushing a wagon full of babies.

To my four little reasons why, thank you for showing me that motherhood and big dreams can exist together. Some of my favourite memories have been made with you beside me on every training run, and every finish line feels sweeter because of you.

Riding Mountain, you humbled me today, but I’ll definitely be back. ❤️

Some people see a mom of 4 and assume my biggest goals are behind me.

I see 4 little reasons to keep chasing bigger ones.

Every early morning run, every stroller mile, every workout squeezed between naps, snacks, laundry, and bedtime stories is building toward something bigger than a finish line.

This training block has a goal:
🏃‍♀️ Sub 1:50 half marathon.

A few months ago, I crossed the finish line of my first half marathon in 1:51:55. I was proud of that race, but I also knew there was more in the tank.

So here we are.

Training for a pace that scares me a little.
Showing up when I’m tired.
Running on days when life feels chaotic.
Learning that progress isn’t about having more time—it’s about making the most of the time you have.

My kids won’t remember every pace, split, or finish time.

But I hope they remember seeing their mom set big goals and work for them.
I hope they remember that it’s okay to challenge yourself.
I hope they learn that being a mom doesn’t mean your dreams end—it means you have even more reasons to chase them.

Sub 1:50, I’m coming for you. 💪🔥

Happy 5th birthday to the boy who made me a mama. 💙

Watching you grow into the smartest, kindest little boy has been one of the greatest joys of my life. You are the very best big brother, and we are so proud of the way you care for and love your siblings.

As excited as we are to watch you flourish in kindergarten, make new friends, and continue growing into the incredible person you’re becoming, part of us wishes we could slow down time just a little bit.

Mommy and Daddy love you more than words can say, and we hope your birthday was filled with everything you wished for and more. We are so lucky to be your parents.

Happy Birthday, buddy. We love you endlessly. 🎂🎈❤️

Race dayyyyy! 🏃‍♀️🇮🇸

2026 Islendingadagurinn Road Race 10-Miler

This race was a different kind of challenge.

One road. One direction. Straight north to Gimli. No turns, no distractions—just you, the road ahead, and a finish line that somehow never felt like it was getting any closer.

Physically, my legs knew what to do. Mentally, this one demanded a little more. Mile after mile of staring straight ahead and reminding myself to keep moving forward.

Some races test your speed.
Some test your endurance.
Some test your mindset.

This one tested all three.

Thankfully, the tailwind showed up when I needed it most! I ran my heart out, held a 4:58/km pace for the full 10 miles, and crossed the finish line as 🥇 1st in my age group.

A huge reminder that progress isn’t always about feeling amazing the entire race. Sometimes it’s about staying focused when things get hard and trusting the work you’ve put in.

On to the next one. 💙

From race morning nerves ➡️ race day ready 🏃‍♀️✨

10 miles, a whole lot of grit, and a finish line in Gimli. Time to see what all those training miles were for. 💙
