Giving Back- Yeti 100 Alvarado Aid Station 2017 & 2018

Giving Back- Yeti 100 Alvarado Aid Station 2017 & 2018

  Anj, Tracy, me

The thought of not being engaged in the Yeti 100 after such a fabulous running experience the year before was down right depressing.  I was definitely not ready to run but wanted to give back.  I reached out the Jason Green, Yeti Trail Runners, and he said he would love for me to run the Alvarado Aid Station.  I was immediately onboard and the planning began. My first recruit…

Running…Post 100 Miler, Yeti100!

You always remember your first. Almost four months post Yeti100! The memories are fresh and I am still beaming with pride daily at my accomplishment.  It was certainly my largest running accomplishment to date. Yeti100 video recap thru the eyes of my sweet 16 year old daughter, and our  boxer dogs! Madelyn was so proud of her Mom! I was so glad she was part of my journey! How do you top that? Do…

Buckle UP! Yeti 100 Race Recap!

Yeti Ready…Lets Roll! Taylors Valley Aid Station mile 56…Keeping my eye on the PRIZE! The instant I saw the Yeti 100 Endurance run pop up in my Facebook Feed, I knew the Yeti was going to be my first 100 miler.  I was elated, and felt the “running Gods” dropped it in my lap.  It was definitely meant to be. (backstory on how this went down)  Hosted by Yeti Trail Runners,  on the the Virginia…

BoxerRunner100 going for Triple digits!

BoxerRunner100 going for Triple digits!

Its happening! 111 days from now I will be running The Yeti 100 Endurance Run on the Virgina Creeper Trail.   At the finish line of  my 75.7 miles at Croatan24, my running buddy Jeremy approached me and asked if I had another 25 miles/6 hours in me.  I don’t believe my response is “pg” rated.  However it was a valid question since the conversations of me potentially running my 1st hundred miler…

Croatan24 Race Recap 2015!

  During my New Years Day solo run, I decided my running goal for 2015 would be to run 75 miles at Croatan24. I had checked off 4 out of 5 of my running goals so it was time to check off #1! November 7th, finally arrived.  I was excited to have recruited #BRF’s Katherine and MaryAnne. Katherine completed her first 50k with me earlier in the year and set her sites on 50 miles. Mary Anne skipped…

Bucket-list Hood to Coast Relay 2015

Bucket-list Hood to Coast Relay 2015

Ironically, I started my blog three + years ago with the hopes of one day being selected for a sponsored  Hood to Coast Team.  Living on the East Coast, I felt my chances of rallying a team and running the epic Mother of all Relays was merely a pipe dream.  Little did I know that my blog would assisted me in being selected for the AnotherMotherRunner.com 2014 SanFran to Napa Ragnar Relay Team.…

Buddy needs a FURever Home

Buddy needs a FURever Home

My name is Buddy! I am a 3 year old puppy(7/4/2012). I came to BRBR via owner surrender by a military family. They took good care of me and taught me to be a very disciplined dog.  I respond very well to voice command and correction.  I am excellent on a leash and love to run! I am currently living with my foster family in Raleigh, NC.  They are really nice people.  I share my house with two skin…

BoxerRunner100

The first week of July I decided it was time to refresh my twitter handle. My handle, MarathoningMom, while I liked it was established early on in my marathoning venture.  I have since conquered many marathons and taken a leap into the ultra marathon world. I love having stretch goals in front of me as daily reminders.  All my work passwords are running related and typically include the next…

Jordan Lake 12-Hour Challenge Recap

A short and sweet race cap for the 1st Annual Jordan Lake 12- Hour Challenge.  A challenge it was! This single track trail around the banks of Jordan Lake is sure to humble the most seasoned trail runner.  It was deceivingly beautiful and torturous at the same time. Doable for sure, likely a little easier for those who are seasoned at running hills. Flatlanders beware! Straycat runner wrote a…

Meet our foster Baxter! Looking for his FURever home

Baxter…what is not to love

My name is Baxter! I am a 2 year old puppy. I came to BRBR via owner surrender.  I was surrendered because the people who had me had too many pets.  I was neutered and very skinny.  I was not on monthly heart worm medicine so I am heart worm positive.  It really does not slow me down at all.  I am starting treatment in March.

too skinny, upon intake. Why are people so…

Ragnar Napa Valley: Recaps from my fellow BadASS Mother Runners

Three plus months have passed and I have yet to recap my Ragnar Napa experience. Perhaps, the delay is due to the fact I did not want to acknowledge the experience, with five months of great anticipation, had come and gone.  What I have come to know, in the months proceeding our 205 mile journey from San Francisco to Calistoga, CA,  is that our Ragnar experience was just a kickstart to a…

Running in Circles Croatan24

Running in Circles Croatan24

Admittedly, I told my sister more than once she was CRAZY for running around in circles. Why on earth would anyone in their right mind want to run around in circles, sleep deprived, for 24 hours? Despite her numerous attempts to to convince me it was “So Fun”, I remained a non believer with ZERO interest.

Funny how things change!…
