Shout it from the Mountain-Top: I WILL!!

Posted on May 17, 2013 by Stephanie • 3 Comments

I don’t vlog very often. It’s a rarity for several reasons:

-I’m long winded

-I’m a serious hand-talker

-I have kids

But I decided to give vlogging another go-round using a slightly better camera that didn’t need to be held at arms length. This means that the quality is better and you’re subjected to an uncomfortable close-up of my face for 6 minutes of chit-chat. What am I talking about? My goals and what being a female athlete really means to me. It’s challenge number one from the What’s Beautiful Campaign I’m doing with Under Armour and Fitfluential. I haven’t been able to load it to my Under Armour page yet because of extremely long load times but I’m hoping to get it set up next week after Fargo.

Enjoy and Stay Beautiful!

My Running Mantra: Are you Having Fun?

Posted on May 3, 2013 by Stephanie • 12 Comments

I’ve learned many lessons over the years since I started running but none as profound as the one I’ve finally understood over the last couple of weeks. To me, running is a release. It’s freedom. When I’m out running, I feel like I’m flying. I can think, problem solve, mourn and even cry, all while… Continue Reading

Either way, for many of you out… Continue Reading

Ragnar Relay SoCal Part III: Will Run for Bling

Posted on May 1, 2013 by Stephanie • 5 Comments

Here we are, home stretch at last!! If you’re just tuning in, check out part I and part II of my recap. The beginning of our third and final leg didn’t quite have the same finesse as our first two exchanges. Mostly because I was barely awake when I heard that runner 12 was less… Continue Reading
